What is ddr3 ram?

DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) is a type of computer memory that evolved from DDR2 RAM in 2007. It is faster and more efficient than its predecessor, allowing data to be transferred twice every clock cycle. DDR3 RAM has a higher clock speed, typically ranging from 800 MHz to 2133MHz, with a maximum limit of 3200MHz. DDR3 RAM uses 240 pins and is available in a range of capacities, from 1GB up to 16GB per module. DDR3 RAM is widely used in modern computers, laptops, and servers. However, newer and faster RAM technologies such as DDR4 have recently been released and are slowly replacing DDR3.
