DRAM can be classified into two main categories: DDR and LPDDR, which stand for Dual Data Rate and Low Power Dual Data Rate, respectively. DDR is commonly employed in desktop computers and high-end laptops, whereas LPDDR is primarily utilized in smartphones and ultrabooks. The latest CPUs from Intel, such as Raptor Lake-S, and AMD's Ryzen 7000 series support DDR5 memory. On the other hand, their notebook counterparts are equipped with LPDDR5 memory, which offers enhanced power efficiency and a more compact form factor. Over the past decade, DDR4 has been the dominant memory standard used in PCs, offering data rates of up to 3,200 Mbps. Its successor, DDR5, initially introduced a base transfer rate of 4,800 Mbps but has since increased to 6,400 Mbps, with overclocked versions reaching up to 7,200 Mbps. LPDDR4 (including LPDDR4X) supported data rates of up to 4,267 Mbps but is now being replaced by LPDDR5 and LPDDR5X. LPDDR5 typically provides a data rate of 6,400 Mbps, while LPDDR...
