What is the difference between LPDDR3 and DDR4 RAM?
LPDDR3 is a type of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) for use in computers. DDR4 DRAM operates at higher frequency and lower voltage compared to DDR3 DRAM.
LPDDR4 modules use 20 per cent less power than LPDDR3 modules while delivering equivalent performance, which translates into a longer battery life for mobile devices based on the chip architecture.
DDR4’s more efficient transfer speeds allow it to transmit data twice as fast as DDR3, meaning every second, rather than every half second in old designs like LPDDR2 and DDR3 SDRAM before that. This increased bandwidth is part of what makes Intel CPUs so much faster once they stop using their integrated graphics processors and switch to their own high-bandwidths.
In summary, LPDDR4 is not simply a higher clocked version of the same thing – it’s been completely redesigned from the ground up with several new features that make it a significant departure from its predecessor.
