Leaker Golden Pig Upgrade says memory makers will roll out 4 GB and 6 GB GDDR7 chips in 2027 or 2028, a big jump from the 2 GB modules the RTX 50 series uses.

Prominent leaker Golden Pig Upgrade says memory makers will roll out 4 GB and 6 GB GDDR7 memory chips in the next year or the year after that. The information remains unofficial, but given the track record, a huge jump in memory capacity is possible as the memory makers ramp up production due to higher demand. The next-gen GPUs could bring a significant upgrade in the memory department, only if the report is true. The RTX 50 series sticks to 2 GB GDDR7 memory modules for the current Blackwell generation, and reports suggested Nvidia would transition to 3 GB GDDR7 chips for the RTX 50 SUPER series, but the whereabouts of the SUPER GPUs are unknown. The three memory giants have initialized production of 3 GB memory chips, but it is unlikely to see them deployed now. The RTX 5050 with 9 GB of memory was reportedly set for release, but due to memory shortages, Nvidia has reportedly cancelled it. The next-gen RTX 60 series Rubin GPUs could utilize the 3 GB memory modules, and possibly the 4 GB and 6 GB chips.

A memory-capacity jump from 2 GB to 4 and 6 GB. The 2 GB GDDR7 is the current module, and the 4 GB and 6 GB are the next modules. The 2027 or 2028 timeline is the window, and the memory makers are the suppliers. The 3 GB chips are the intermediate step, and the 4 and 6 GB are the larger jump. The RTX 60 Rubin is the generation that could use the larger chips, and the memory shortage is the constraint that drives the demand. The leaker track record is the credibility, and the unofficial status is the caveat.

This is a memory-capacity jump that would change the GPU VRAM picture. The memory-capacity jump is the change, and the 4 and 6 GB chips are the specific modules.

The actual production timeline, the yield, and whether the 4 and 6 GB chips are real. The report is unofficial, and the 2027 or 2028 window is the leaker's claim, not a confirmed schedule.

Whether the 4 and 6 GB GDDR7 chips are produced, the timeline, and whether the RTX 60 Rubin uses them. For the memory market, a jump from 2 GB to 4 and 6 GB GDDR7 is a significant capacity change, and the memory makers are the suppliers that would ramp up production.
