You may have seen RAM referred to by two sets of numbers, like DDR3-1600 and PC3-12800. These both reference and allude to the generation of the RAM and its transfer speed. The number after DDR/PC and before the hyphen refers to the generation: DDR2 is PC2, DDR3 is PC3, DDR4 is PC4.
Is PC3 and DDR3 RAM the same?
PC3-12800 (12800 MB/sec) is the same thing as DDR3 1600MHz (1600 MHz data transfer rate) and it runs at 800 MHz DDR clock. Similarly for others, just divide/multiply by 8. Any memory that has the correct voltage and capacity and is same or faster than what is supported by the board should work in the board.
What does PC3-12800 mean?
12.8GB/sec
Kingston Memory he next generation of DDR3 has arrived. DDR3-1600 memory has a module classification of PC3-12800, which effectively means the peak data rate of the module is 12.8GB/sec (see table). That’s about a 17% improvement on memory bandwidth over DDR3-1333.
What does PC3 10600 mean?
PC3-10600 / 8 = DDR3-1333; DDR3-1333 x 8 = PC3-10600. PC3-12800 / 8 = DDR3-1600; DDR3-1600 x 8 = PC3-12800. Notice how the latter specs are exactly TWICE the specs for DDR2-800: i.e. 800 x 2 = 1600; 6,400 x 2 = 12,800. Browse around Newegg and search for the strings.
What does 8gb 1600 MHz DDR3 mean?
Answer: A: Answer: A: it the ram Random access Memory your computer has Onboard (Motherboard or the board inside your computer) . LPDDR3 is the type or grade of ram, which is really good. 8 GB of Ram is really good to have.
Is 10600 the same as 1600?
yes there compatible, pc10600 is slightly slower ram is all.
What is the difference between 10600 and 10600s?
If you had desktop memory the same RAM would say DDR3 10600. Crucial and other companies have a way of not listing the RAM speed with the “S’ because in the title of the RAM you are purchasing it says “SO-DIM’ but when you get your RAM it will have the “S” on it if you are buying for a laptop.
What does DDR3L mean?
DDR3 Low Voltage
The DDR3L (DDR3 Low Voltage) standard is an addendum to the JESD79-3 DDR3 Memory Device Standard specifying low voltage devices. The DDR3L standard is 1.35 V and has the label PC3L for its modules.
