The Difference Between DDR3 & DDR4 Memory

In Computing, memory refers to the computer hardware integrated circuits that store information for immediate use in a computer; it is synonymous with the term “primary storage”. Wikipedia

RAM – Random Access Memory is a device for storing data randomly, the data stored in the CPU/Central Processing Unit is only temporary.
EX: it only stored data when the computer is ON and the data will be lost if the computer is turned off.

DDR – Double Rate Memory is the type of RAM that’s using for computer/laptops, The DDR type RAM has two lines for data traffic to or from the processor.

Actually, there is an initial generation of this RAM type and will continue to be upgraded, starting from the first generation, DDR2, DDR3, DDR4, and even DDR5 SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory)

Suggestion:

But this time, I will show you the difference between DDR3 and DDR4 Memory, DDR3 vs DDR4.

DDR3 RAM

DDR3 started to be used since 2007, DDR3 also lasted a little longer, between 4-6 years before DDR4 was launched in 2014.

The difference between DDR 3 and DDR4 in the physical form is the location of the pins at the bottom of the module’s memory PCB so that making each generation of DDR memory cannot be plugged in memory slots that’s has different types.

DDR4 RAM

DDR3 uses 240 pins while DDR4 uses 288 pins and The pins hole location on the DDR4 memory slot is slightly centered.

The highest clock speed of the standard DDR3 that was last made was 2133Mhz, while for DDR4 it starts at 2133Mhz and continued until it reaches a clock speed of 3200Mhz and RAM capacity reaches 2 times more than the capacity of DDR3 RAM. The speed of DDR4 premium in 2017 reached 4000Mhz +

Suggestion:

So, that’s a little Difference Between DDR3 and DDR4 Memory | DDR3 vs DDR4.
