What does PC3 8500 mean?

PC3 = {acronym same as DDR3} theoretical bandwidth. 8500 = frequency JEDEC 8500/8 = 1063 theoretical bandwidth.

What is the speed of PC3 8500 Ram?

DDR3 speeds

Friendly name	Industry name	Peak Transfer Rate
DDR3-800	PC3-6400	6400 MB/s
DDR3-1066	PC3-8500	8533 MB/s
DDR3-1333	PC3-10600	10667 MB/s
DDR3-1600	PC3-12800	12800 MB/s

Whats the difference between DDR3 and DDR3L?

The main difference between DDR3 and DDR3L is in the voltage specification. Voltage specification for DDR3 is 1.5V, but the voltage for DDR3L is less, which is 1.35V. The letter L in DDR3L refers to low voltage standard. As DDR3L is a special type of DDR3 all other specifications except the voltage remains the same.

What is the highest MHz for DDR3?

800 MHz to 2133 MHz
The clock speed of DDR3 vary from 800 MHz to 2133 MHz, where 2133 MHz is the its peak in some cases, generally clock speed is vary between 1600 to 1800 MHz.

Is PC3 compatible with DDR3?

Nope, PC3 = DDR3. You just have to match the PC3 number to the DDR3 frequencies. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR3_SDRAM#JEDEC_standard_modules. You should get either 12800 (1600) or 10666 (1333).

What does DDR3 mean in RAM?

Double Data Rate 3 Synchronous Dynamic Random
Double Data Rate 3 Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DDR3 SDRAM) is a type of synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) with a high bandwidth (“double data rate”) interface, and has been in use since 2007.

What is PC3?

The number after DDR/PC and before the hyphen refers to the generation: DDR2 is PC2, DDR3 is PC3, DDR4 is PC4. The number paired after DDR refers to the number of megatransfers per second (MT/s). For example, DDR3-1600 RAM operates at 1,600MT/s.

Why is Sdram faster than regular DRAM?

SDRAM vs DRAM This system clock is synchronous with the clock speed of the CPU of a computer (~133 MHz). The reason for this is that it actually allows for much higher clock speeds (3x) than conventional DRAM. All operations to and from the DRAM are executed at the rising edge of a master clock.

What is the difference between DDR3 and PC3?

DDR3 stands for Double Data Rate type three but does not imply a specific frequency or bus rate. The PC3-xxxx designates the particular RAM’s speed rating and means that the memory certified as able to run at that bus speed. So DDR3 RAM PC3-1333 runs at 1333 MHz while the PC3-1066 runs at 1066 MHz.

What is PC3 memory?

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.

What do I need to use DDR3 SODIMM memory?

To use DDR3 memory, your system must have both a 204-pin SODIMM slot and a chipset that supports DDR3 memory. A DDR3 SODIMM will not fit into DDR2 or DDR memory sockets. (Information about which memory technology your system uses is included in the Crucial Memory Advisor tool.)

Can I use DDR3 memory in a DDR2 socket?

To use DDR3 memory, your system must have both a 204-pin SODIMM slot and a chipset that supports DDR3 memory. A DDR3 SODIMM will not fit into DDR2 or DDR memory sockets.

How much RAM does a PC3-8500 have?
