Dual In-line Memory Module (DIMM)
pcA Dual In-line Memory Module (DIMM) is a type of computer memory format that consists of a series of dynamic random-access memory integrated circuits.
expanded
DIMMs are used primarily in personal computers to provide volatile memory storage directly accessible by the CPU. They are crucial for system operations and affect data processing speed and multitasking capabilities. The most common configurations include DDR (Double Data Rate) types such as DDR3, DDR4, and DDR5, with each successive version offering improvements in bandwidth and power efficiency.
examples
A DDR4 DIMM with a storage capacity of 8 GB and a speed of 3200 MHz.
Widely used in DIY computer builds for enhancing the RAM capacity, enabling smoother multitasking and faster program execution.
A DDR5 DIMM module with a storage capacity of 16 GB and a data transfer rate of 4800 MT/s.
Implemented in advanced gaming PCs and workstations to meet the higher demands on data throughput and power efficiency.
