What does PC3L 12800s mean?

Kingston Memory DDR3-1600 memory has a module classification of PC3-12800, which effectively means the peak data rate of the module is 12.8GB/sec (see table). That’s about a 17% improvement on memory bandwidth over DDR3-1333.

What does PC3L mean on RAM?

DDR3 or PC3 is the Standard Voltage memory module that operates at 1.50V (JEDEC compliant) DDR3L or PC3L is the Low Voltage memory module that operates at 1.35V (JEDEC compliant) DDR3U or PC3U is the Ultra Low Voltage memory module that operates at 1.25V (still not JEDEC compliant)

What is PC3 and PC3L?

PC3 is standard voltage (1.50V) where PC3L is low voltage (1.35V) – A system which requires PC3L cannot support PC3 RAM. PC3L RAM will work in a PC3 based system as it will run at the standard voltage and will inter-operate with PC3 RAM within the system. 12800 MB/s (DDR3-1600) Vs 10600 MB/s (DDR3-1333)

What is 1r * 8 in RAM?

1Rx8 means it is a single-rank module and 2Rx8 means it is a dual-rank module module. Rank is a data block which is 64 bits wide without Error Correction Code (ECC) created using some, or all of the memory chips on a module.

What is B3 and B4 in RAM?

The B3/B4 is the reference design file used for this design and Revision number of the reference design used. The CAS timing is what matters. The lower the number the fewer clock cycles it takes so in effect its faster. In this case, they would perform identically, although the B4 is technically a newer version.

Is PC3L same as DDR4?

These both reference and allude to the generation of the RAM and its transfer speed. The number after DDR/PC and before the hyphen refers to the generation: DDR2 is PC2, DDR3 is PC3, DDR4 is PC4.

Can I use PC3L and PC3 slot?

Yes, your laptop supports DDR3 (PC3- refers to DDR3) SODIMM memory, if the PC3L memory which you have is SODIMM (204pin) then you can install it with out any issues else if it is DIMM (240-pin) then don’t even think about it.

Can I use PC3L in PC3 slot?

What is 2Rx8?

2Rx8 is a two-sided memory stick. I have 3.5GB of memory in my PC. Two sticks are 1GB ea and 1Rx8, 1 stick is 1GB, 2Rx8 and 1 stick is 512mg, 1Rx8. My Dell Inspiron 530 allows mixing of one-sided and two-sided memory sticks, which is what the 1R and 2R designation means.

Which is better 1Rx8 or 1Rx16?

The 1Rx16 modules have significantly lower bandwidth compared to the 1Rx8 variants. The more bank groups a memory module has, the higher the bandwidth is. Contrary to what the naming convention may suggest, the single rank x8 modules have twice as many bank groups compared to the single rank x16 variants.
