RAM

Ram is an acronym access memory, a type of computer


memory that can be access randomely. It is the most common
type memory found in laptops and computers.

The two types of ram differ in the technology they use to hold
data, with DRAM most common type. In terms of speed SRAM
is faster.
SDRAM

It stands for Synchronus Dynamic Random Access Memory. This enables the memory controller to know the
exact clock cycle when the requested data will ready.So, Cpu has no longer wait for memory access.
DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate SDRAM):

The next generation of SDRAM is DDR, which achieves greater


bandwidth than the preceding single data rate SDRAM by transferring
data on the rising and falling edges of the clock signal (double
pumped). Effectively, it doubles the transfer rate without increasing
the frequency of the clock. The transfer rate of DDR SDRAM is the
double of SDR SDRAM without changing the internal clock. DDR
SDRAM, as the first generation of DDR memory, the prefetch buffer is
2bit, which is the double of SDR SDRAM. The transfer rate of DDR is
between 266~400 MT/s. DDR266 and DDR400 are of this type.
DDR2 SDRAM(Double Data Rate Two SDRAM):

Its primary benefit is the ability to operate the external


data bus twice as fast as DDR SDRAM.
This is achieved by improved bus signal. The prefetch
buffer of DDR2 is 4 bit(double of DDR SDRAM). DDR2
memory is at the same internal clock speed
(133~200MHz) as DDR, but the transfer rate of DDR2
can reach 533~800 MT/s with the improved I/O bus
signal. DDR2 533 and DDR2 800 memory types are on
the market.
DDR3 SDRAM(Double Data Rate Three SDRAM):

DDR3 memory reduces 40% power consumption


compared to current DDR2 modules, allowing for
lower operating currents and voltages (1.5 V,
compared to DDR2's 1.8 V or DDR's 2.5 V). The transfer
rate of DDR3 is 800~1600 MT/s. DDR3's prefetch buffer
width is 8 bit, whereas
DDR2's is 4 bit, and DDR's is 2 bit. DDR3 also adds two
functions, such as ASR (Automatic Self-Refresh) and
SRT (Self-Refresh Temperature). They can make the
memory control the refresh rate according to the
temperature variation.
DDR4 SDRAM (Double Data Rate Fourth SDRAM):

DDR4 SDRAM provides the lower operating voltage


(1.2V) and higher transfer rate. The transfer rate of
DDR4 is 2133~3200 MT/s. DDR4 adds four new Bank
Groups technology. Each bank group has the feature of
singlehanded operation. DDR4 can process 4 data
within a clock cycle, so DDR4's efficiency is better than
DDR3 obviously. DDR4 also adds some functions, such
as DBI (Data Bus Inversion), CRC (Cyclic Redundancy
Check) and CA parity. They can enhance DDR4
memory's signal integrity, and improve the stability of
data transmission/access.
Comparision

performance of every iteration of


the DDR protocol sees significant
performance increases over the last
generation. Some of the stats, like
bandwidth, can almost double from
one generation to the next, while
others, such as voltage, still
improve, but suffer from
diminishing returns.
Comparision

DDR (or DDR1), of course, was the first generation of upgraded


RAM. Before, RAM was Single Data Rate or SDR. From there,
DDR2, DDR3, and DDR4 were developed over time. Each
generation works more quickly and efficiently than the
generations before it. DDR5, of course, is in the works as the
next generation of RAM.
Right now, most modern computers are built to use DDR4
RAM, and they’re not backwardcompatible. As such, if you
have an older motherboard that uses DDR3 RAM, you cannot
install DDR4 RAM in it successfully without replacing the
entire motherboard. In the same way, most modern
motherboards can’t make use of DDR3 or DDR2 RAM, either.
Conclusion

Essentially, there are a few things to keep in mind for choosing DDR3, DDR4,
and DDR5 RAM. To hold out for DDR5, may need to wait a while for it to
become economical and stable, but it will have predictably substantial
performance advantages over DDR3 and DDR4.
For an older computer, it may be restricted to DDR3 RAM by default. However,
specifically looking for low-latency RAM, there is no other reason to search out
DDR3 RAM. DDR4 RAM is your most viable option and will be (probably) for
several years.
