DDR3 vs DDR4
Difference between DDR3 and DDR4
Here are the difference between DDR3 and DDR4 RAM:
Features of DDR3
Following are the important features of DDR3 SDRAM:
Data transfer rate: 800 to 1600 MT/s (mega transfers per Second) Operating voltage: 1.8 V Lower signaling standard Reduced power x8 prefetch Dynamic ODT for improved write signaling Fly-by architecture Read/Write Levelling Driver calibration Device reset DIMM address mirroring Improved device pinout
Features of DDR 4
Here are important features of DDR4 SDRAM type:
Lower signalling standard Reduced power x8 Prefetch Dynamic ODT for improved write signalling Fly-by architecture Read/Write Levelling Driver calibration Device Reset DIMM address mirroring Improved device pinout Data transfer rate 2133 to 3200 MT/s
Advantages of DDR3
Here are pros/benefits of using DDR3
DDR3 transfers data at a higher rate, as much as 6400MBps It enables higher bandwidth or peak data rates. DDR3 uses less power consumption. DDR3 offers batter latency compares with DDR2.
Advantages of DDR4
Here are pros/benefits of DDR4:
DDR4 offers higher module density and also consumes very less power. DDR4 is well suited for high-speed games. DDR4 offers greater DIMM capabilities. The data rate transfer is faster when compared with its earlier versions. DDR4 can transfer at higher speeds at very low voltage without any cooling requirements. The latency of DDR4 is better than any other DDR versions. DDR4 refreshes its content only by self-refresh, so it also consumes less power.
