This occurs because the processor (CPU) is faster than the RAM, and usually it has to wait for the RAM to deliver data. During this wait time the CPU is idle, doing nothing (that’s not entirely true, but it fits our explanation). In a perfect computer, the RAM would be as fast as the CPU. Dual-, triple-, and quad-channel are techniques used to double, triple, or quadruple the communication speed between the memory controller and the RAM, thus increasing the system performance. In this tutorial, we will explain everything you need to know about these technologies: how they work, how to set them up, how to calculate transfer speeds, and more.
Before going further, let’s first explain how the RAM is traditionally connected to the system. The RAM is controlled by a circuit called a memory controller. PC World.br. Guia do PC » Dicas, tutoriais e notícias sobre informática e tecnologia. Guia do Hardware |
