  • DDR4

    DDR4 is the fourth generation of DDR SDRAM computer memory, running at 1.2 V with transfer rates of 1600 to 3200 MT/s under the JEDEC standard.

  • DDR5

    DDR5 is the fifth generation of double data rate SDRAM, the main system memory in current PCs and servers, built for higher bandwidth and capacity.

  • ECC

    ECC (error-correcting code) memory stores extra check bits with each data word so the system can detect and correct bit errors in RAM automatically.

  • LPDDR5

    LPDDR5 is a JEDEC low-power DRAM standard for phones, tablets and thin laptops, offering up to 6400 MT/s with aggressive power-saving features.

  • Memory bandwidth

    Memory bandwidth is the rate at which data moves between memory and a processor, usually stated in gigabytes per second and set by speed and bus…

  • Memory latency

    Memory latency is the delay between a processor requesting data from RAM and receiving it, measured in clock cycles or nanoseconds.

  • RAM

    RAM, or random-access memory, is the fast volatile working memory that holds the code and data a processor is actively using while a computer runs.
