Memory Timing
pcMemory timing refers to the specific time intervals required for RAM operations, typically measured in clock cycles.
expanded
Memory timing encompasses the latency and sequence of operations performed by RAM during data retrieval and storage. Key parameters include CAS latency, RAS to CAS delay, RAS precharge, and cycle time, affecting overall system performance. It is critically important for high-performance computing and gaming systems where timing directly influences efficiency and speed.
examples
A memory module with a timing configuration of 16-18-18-38 operating at 3200 MHz.
Used in custom-built gaming PCs to optimize latency and enhance data throughput.
Laptop RAM operating with a timing of 15-15-15-35 at 2400 MHz.
Implemented in ultrabooks for maintaining a balance between performance and power efficiency.
