Manufacturers Reportedly Planning Both 4 GB and 6 GB GDDR7 Chips For 2027-28

What happened

Memory manufacturers are reportedly planning 4 GB and 6 GB GDDR7 chips for the 2027-2028 window to increase VRAM capacity without widening memory buses. Current 3 GB chips are expensive and causing delays for upcoming GPUs. This future capacity expansion could lower costs for high-end GPUs.
