Let's take PC2700 DDR RAM as an example. Crucial has RAM running at CAS latencies of 2.5. Corsair has modules running at 2.0. If you do not plan to overclock, will you see a difference in performance?

At first glance, seeing a string of numbers like "34-42-42-96" on RAM packaging might be puzzling — but they carry important technical meaning. They refer to memory timings, with the first indicating ...

It looks like G.Skill has cracked the code to one of the biggest complaints with DDR5 memory, that being propensity for high CAS latencies. There have been efforts to release lower latency kits, some ...

Selecting the best memory solution often means designers must trade memory density versus performance. Selecting the best memory solution in terms of system performance often means designers must ...

In brief: DDR5 memory chips generally have higher latency than DDR4, but this usually doesn't pose a problem under normal usage. However, MSI has released a firmware update to address a mild latency ...

I managed to gain some free performance.

If there's a criticism to be had with DDR5 RAM, it's that there's a latency hit compared to high-end DDR4 kits. That's the cost of taking memory speeds to the next level. In an effort to lessen the ...

DDR4 memory, even though a generation old at this point, is still very capable and can deliver performance levels only slightly behind the newer DDR5. While DDR5 memory continues to make inroads with ...

Diablo leveraged its extensive experience in advanced memory channel interfaces and protocols to deliver a superior system architecture that directly attaches persistent memory to the host processors ...

Speed makes a difference, and sometimes you can get a boost without reaching in your wallet ...
