Description
Product Overview of IBM 46C7488 8GB Memory
The IBM 46C7488 is a type of computer memory that is designed to enhance the performance and efficiency of computer systems. It is a high-speed memory module that is commonly used in server and workstation systems. This article will provide an in-depth explanation of the features and specifications of the IBM 46C7488 memory, including its capacity, speed, technology, form factor, and other key characteristics.
Capacity of IBM 46C7488 Memory
The IBM 46C7488 memory has a capacity of 8GB, which means that it can store up to 8 billion bytes of data. This memory capacity is ideal for high-performance computing tasks, such as data analysis, scientific simulations, and virtualization. The memory capacity is determined by the number of memory chips installed on the memory module. In the case of IBM 46C7488, the memory module has eight memory chips, each with a capacity of 1GB.
Speed of IBM 46C7488 Memory
The speed of memory is measured in MHz, and it determines how fast the memory can read and write data. IBM 46C7488 memory has a speed of 1066MHz, which means that it can read and write data at a rate of 1066 million cycles per second. This high speed is essential for high-performance computing tasks that require fast data access and transfer rates. The memory speed is determined by the memory controller, which is the component that manages the flow of data between the memory and the CPU.
Technology of IBM 46C7488 Memory
IBM 46C7488 memory uses DDR3 SDRAM technology, which is the third generation of Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (SDRAM). DDR3 SDRAM is an improvement over the previous generation, DDR2 SDRAM, and it offers faster data transfer rates, lower power consumption, and higher memory capacities. DDR3 SDRAM is also backward compatible with DDR2 SDRAM, which means that it can be used with motherboards that support DDR2 SDRAM.
Form Factor of IBM 46C7488 Memory
The form factor of memory refers to its physical size and shape, and it determines how the memory module fits into the computer system. IBM 46C7488 memory has a form factor of RDIMM (Registered Dual In-Line Memory Module), which means that it has a register that buffers the control signals between the memory and the CPU. The RDIMM form factor is commonly used in server and workstation systems that require high memory capacity and reliability.
Rank of IBM 46C7488 Memory
The rank of memory refers to the number of memory modules that can be accessed simultaneously by the memory controller. IBM 46C7488 memory has a quad rank, which means that it has four ranks on a single memory module. The quad rank design allows the memory controller to access a large amount of memory with fewer memory modules, which reduces the cost and complexity of the memory subsystem.
ECC of IBM 46C7488 Memory
ECC (Error Correction Code) is a feature of memory that detects and corrects errors that occur during data transfer. IBM 46C7488 memory has ECC support, which means that it can detect and correct single-bit errors and detect multi-bit errors. ECC is essential for mission-critical applications that require high data reliability and accuracy.
CL of IBM 46C7488 Memory
CL (Column Access Strobe Latency) is a measure of the delay between the memory controller requesting data and the memory module returning the data. IBM 46C7488 memory has a CL of 7, which means that it has a latency of 7 clock cycles. A lower CL value indicates faster memory access and transfer rates.
