The constant evolution of tech has placed great emphasis on lighter and faster data processing components for computing devices. Consequently, ultra-fast RAM chips with the ability to operate under low power settings have become the standard. Double data rate 3 (DDR3) SDRAM modules are third-generation DDR memory chips with rapid data transference rates.
What Makes DDR3 Synchronous Dynamic RAM Unique?
DDR3 SDRAM (double-data-rate synchronous dynamic random access memory generation 3) is a type of memory used in electronics. Such as Automotive, industrial, TV, STB, Network, BD-Player, and so on. DDR3 SDRAM achieves greater bandwidth than the preceding DDR2 SDRAM by a higher clock rate.
Are DDR3 Modules Low Power?
DDR3 SDRAMs are typically low per memory unit however the power consumption between individual chips or DIMMs will vary depending on the type of computing application involved, running bus speeds, and operational voltages.
Key Advantages of DDR3 SDRAM over Earlier DDR Generations
Third generation DDR memory chips and modules possess the following advantages over DDR2 SDRAMs:
- Greater bandwidths with double the data transfer rate obtainable in DDR2 RAMs
- Marginally better memory latencies
- Comparably better performance at low power (prolonged battery life in portable devices)
- Additional low power features
Applications of DDR3 SDRAMs
The stability and efficiency of third-generation DDR RAMs make them suitable for several applications including the following:
- Solid-state drives in personal computers
- Printers
- Industrial computing platforms
- Networking systems
- Power equipment
