Before installing RAM for the Eglobal mini pc, make sure you know clearly the RAM style the Eglobal mini pc required. You can use the link: http://ark.intel.com/ to search CPU details and learn the Eglobal mini pc’s RAM style(DDR3, DDR3L, LPDDR3, DDR4), you can find the memory types it supports directly as this picture shown:
Difference of DDR3, DDR3L, LPDDR3 and DDR4. Laptop memory is 204pin(SO-DIMM DDR3) and desktop memory is 240 pin(DDR3).
Here is summarization of the key differences of DDR3, DDR3L, LPDDR3:
DDR3 VS DDR4 of Eglobal Mini PC
- Different specifications
The starting frequency of DDR3 memory is only 800MHz, and the highest frequency can reach 2133MHz. The starting frequency of DDR4 memory is 2133MHz, and the highest frequency can reach 3000MHz. The performance of higher frequency DDR4 memory is significantly improved compared with DDR3 memory. Each pin of DDR4 memory can provide 2Gbps bandwidth, then DDR4-3200 is 51.2GB/s, which is better than DDR3-1866. Bandwidth increased by 70%. - Different appearance
As an upgraded version of DDR3, DDR4 has undergone some changes in appearance. The gold fingers of DDR4 memory have become curved, which means that DDR4 is no longer compatible with DDR3. If you want to replace DDR4 memory, you need to replace the motherboard with a new platform that supports DDR4 memory. - Different memory capacities
The largest single DDR3 can reach 64GB, but only 16GB and 32GB are available on the market. And DDR4 has a maximum single capacity of 128GB, and larger capacity means DDR4 can support more applications. - Power consumption is different
Under normal circumstances, the working voltage of DDR3 memory is 1.5V, which consumes more power, and the memory stick is easy to generate heat and frequency, which affects performance. The working voltage of DDR4 memory is mostly 1.2V or lower. The lower power consumption brings less power consumption and less heat, which improves the stability of the memory stick and basically does not cause the drop caused by heat. Frequency phenomenon.
Cost of DDR4 is more expensive than others. When you buy new memory,we should consider all the parameters and compatibility, not necessarily the higher specification parameters that means better performance. It is better to inquire our Sales before buy.
