The company hardly supplied its GDDR7 memory chips to NVIDIA for a couple of months, but already ended the production of 2 GB memory module
Micron Puts 2 GB GDDR7 28 Gbps and 32 Gbps Chips to EOL, While Producing Only 3 GB GDDR7 Modules
We thought the situation would improve after Micron decided to enter the market with its GDDR7 memory chips. Micron joined the list of memory suppliers in mid-2025 to supply its GDDR7 chips to NVIDIA, but it was not until February this year that we spotted Micron's GDDR7 chips on an RTX 50 card.
Micron was producing both 28 Gbps and 32 Gbps 2 GB (16 Gb) GDDR7 memory chips, supplying the 28 Gbps variant, MT68A512M32DF-28:A, for some of the RTX 50 series cards. A few months ago, we heard that Micron will now be actively supplying the memory for production of RTX 50 cards, which would improve GPU availability, given the current state of the market.
However, the company unexpectedly halted the production of both its 2 GB GDDR7 variants, as spotted by @unikoshardware. The official website states that both 2 GB 28 Gbps and 32 Gbps GDDR7 memory chips have reached EOL, or End of Life, indicating that it will no longer supply these chips to NVIDIA. While Micron wasn't the sole supplier of GDDR7 memory chips to NVIDIA, it did help a bit.
Samsung and SK Hynix remain the major players in the GDDR7 memory supply for the RTX 50 series. So, we shouldn't see any significant impact on the availability of the RTX 50 cards, but at the same time, if Micron were sending even 10% of the total volume, it would create a noticeable difference in the market, which we could see in the coming weeks/months.
NVIDIA has already implemented several price hikes this year for its GPU-memory bundles, which forced vendors to increase GPU prices. The current prices make higher-VRAM-capacity GPUs particularly unaffordable, as the memory shortages continue to drive up prices. As far as Micron's 3 GB GDDR7 memory chips are concerned, they are almost useless for almost the entire stack of the RTX 50 series.
In simple words, we aren't likely going to see 3 GB memory modules being deployed anytime soon, but memory makers are still reportedly ready to prepare 4 GB and 6 GB chips in 2027-2028 for the upcoming RTX 60 cards.
