4GB RAM Pc3l-12800
4GB RAM PC3L-12800″ typically refers to the specifications of a computer’s memory module. Here’s a breakdown of what this means:
- 4GB RAM: This indicates the amount of random access memory (RAM) installed in the computer. In this case, it’s 4 gigabytes (GB) of RAM. RAM is a type of volatile memory that a computer uses to temporarily store data that is actively being used or processed. Having more RAM generally allows a computer to handle more tasks simultaneously and run applications more smoothly.
- PC3L-12800: This is a specification that describes the type and speed of the RAM module. Let’s break it down:
- PC3L: This indicates the type of DDR (Double Data Rate) RAM. Specifically, it refers to DDR3L, which is a low-voltage variant of DDR3 RAM. DDR3L operates at a lower voltage (1.35V or 1.5V) compared to standard DDR3 (1.5V). This helps in reducing power consumption and heat generation.
- 12800: This is the memory module’s data transfer rate or speed, measured in megatransfers per second (MT/s). In this case, 12800 MT/s translates to a memory speed of 1600 MHz (megahertz). This is the maximum speed at which data can be transferred to and from the RAM module.
