This paper will review the new DDR3 features and compare and contrast them to previous features available in the DDR2 specification. One of the biggest changes is the in Physical Layer (PHY) portion ...

Each type of memory is electrically incompatible with the others, starting with the number of pins on a chip (DDR desktop-style DIMMs have 184, and DDR2 and DDR3 each have 240), and DIMMs using ...

We've got two G.Skill kits on the table today, a 1000MHz DDR2 and 1600MHz DDR3 kit. Read on to see how they stack up.

DigiTimes reports prices of DDR3 memory chips may soon drop under the price of DDR2 chips. Spot pricing for 1Gb DDR2 chips has surpassed US$1.60, while 1Gb DDR3 prices are staying at range around ...

DDR2 memory, for instance, first appeared in 2004. But only in the last 12 months has DDR3 taken over as the mainstream memory type for most new PCs.

With these basic understandings, the specific features and functionalities of DDR3 memories are further discussed in the following sections. DDR3 Memory DDR3 memories provide much improved performance ...

There’s just one problem: DDR3 is still more expensive than DDR2. Prices for 4GB DDR3 kits start at $63 on Newegg, while DDR2 kits with the same capacity can be had for as little as $49.

If 2007 was the year when DDR2 prices hit rock bottom, 2008 looks like it will be the year when DDR3 becomes affordable.

DDR3 memory systems can provide a significant performance boost to a variety of data processing applications. However, compared to previous generations (DDR and DDR2), DDR3 memory devices have some ...

The emerging DDR3 memory standard will extend the performance range of DDR memories considerably, while maintaining some amount of backwards compatibility with the existing DDR2 memory standard. It is ...
