FAQs:
Is it worth switching from DDR3 to DDR4?
Yes, if your platform supports it. DDR4 gives higher bandwidth, lower power, and larger module sizes. You’ll notice gains in multitasking, memory-heavy apps, and power-sensitive systems. If you’re locked to a legacy CPU/board, stay on DDR3 until you upgrade the platform.
How long is DDR4 supported by memory manufacturers?
DDR4 has long-tail availability even as DDR5 grows. Industrial suppliers often offer multi-year lifecycle support (varies by Manufactures).
Is DDR4 suitable for harsh industrial environments?
Yes, DDR4 is suitable for harsh industrial environments when using industrial-grade modules, which are designed to operate under wide temperature ranges and offer reliable performance in rugged conditions.
What is the most common DDR4 configuration used in industrial environments?
8–16 GB, DDR4-2666 to DDR4-3200, 1.2 V, x8 Interface, Industrial-temperature (-40~95 °C)
