Rambus announced a working DDR5 dual in-line memory module (DIMM) in September 2017. [9] [10] On November 15, 2018, SK Hynix announced completion of its first DDR5 RAM chip; running at 5.2 GT/s at 1.1 V. [11] In February 2019, SK Hynix announced a 6.4 GT/s chip, the highest speed specified by the preliminary DDR5 standard. [12]
On 27 April 2018, Hagens Berman filed a class-action lawsuit against Samsung, Hynix, and Micron in U.S. District Court alleging the trio engaged in DRAM price fixing causing prices to skyrocket through 2016 and 2017. [8] Between June 2016 and January 2018, the price of DRAM nearly tripled. [9]
Synchronous graphics RAM (SGRAM) is a specialized form of SDRAM for graphics adaptors. It is designed for graphics-related tasks such as texture memory and framebuffers , found on video cards . It adds functions such as bit masking (writing to a specified bit plane without affecting the others) and block write (filling a block of memory with a ...
DDR4 RAM operates at a voltage of 1.2 V and supports frequencies between 800 and 1600 MHz (DDR4-1600 through DDR4-3200). Compared to DDR3, which operates at 1.5 V with frequencies from 400 to 1067 MHz (DDR3-800 through DDR3-2133), DDR4 offers better performance and energy efficiency .
On February 20, 2013, it was announced that the PlayStation 4 would use sixteen 4 Gb GDDR5 memory chips for a total of 8 GB of GDDR5 @ 176 Gbit/s (CK 1.375 GHz and WCK 2.75 GHz) as combined system and graphics RAM for use with its AMD-powered system on a chip comprising 8 Jaguar cores, 1152 GCN shader processors and AMD TrueAudio.

GDDR SDRAM is distinct from the more widely known types of DDR SDRAM, such as DDR4 and DDR5, although they share some of the same features—including double data rate (DDR) data transfers. As of 2025, GDDR SDRAM has been succeeded by GDDR2, GDDR3, GDDR4, GDDR5, GDDR5X, GDDR6, GDDR6X, GDDR6W and GDDR7.
Low-Power Double Data Rate (LPDDR), also known as LPDDR SDRAM, is a type of synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) that consumes less power than other random access memory designs and is thus targeted for mobile computing devices such as laptop computers and smartphones.
DDR5 introduced support for FGR (fine granular refresh), with its own tRFC2 and tRFC4 timings. [1] Note: Memory bandwidth measures the throughput of memory, and is generally limited by the transfer rate, not latency. By interleaving access to SDRAM's multiple internal banks, it is possible to transfer data continuously at the peak transfer rate ...
