What is DRAM? DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) is a type of RAM (Random Access Memory) used as the main memory in various computing devices, such as desktop and notebook computers, servers, and high-end workstations. It is the most widely used semiconductor memory in current generation computers and offers several significant advantages. Advantages of DRAM DRAM offers several advantages over other types of memory, including: Structural simplicity High packing densities (number of bytes that can be stored per unit of chip area) Low power consumption High data read/write speeds Types of DRAM There are several types of DRAM available for deployment on various computing platforms, such as home/personal computers, portable computers, and network servers. These include: Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM) DDR2 SDRAM DDR3 SDRAM DDR4 SDRAM Innovative Technological Developments DRAM has undergone several innovative technological developments, resulting in improved performance and cost-effectiveness. These developments have led to very high price/performance ratios, making DRAM a popular choice for memory in modern computing devices.
