Memory speed determines the speed at which the CPU can process data. The higher the memory clock speed, the faster the system can read and write information from memory.
How do memory timings work?
All memory has a specific clock speed in megahertz that matches the memory interface speed of the CPU.
Newer memory classification methods now base their classification on the theoretical data bandwidth that the memory can support.
All versions of DDR memory are referred to by their clock speed, but memory manufacturers are starting to refer more often to the memory bandwidth. These memory types can be referred to in two ways.
