Overview
SDRAM is a type of DRAM that operates in synchronization with the computer's system clock. This allows the memory to stay in step with the CPU, improving data transfer rates and overall system efficiency.
Evolution
SDRAM replaced older asynchronous DRAM technologies and paved the way for modern Double Data Rate (DDR) memory.
Key Benefit
By synchronizing with the clock, SDRAM can accept a new command before it has finished processing the previous one, a technique known as pipelining.
