What is the difference between 10600 and 10600s?

What is the difference between 10600 and 10600s?

If you had desktop memory the same RAM would say DDR3 10600. Crucial and other companies have a way of not listing the RAM speed with the “S’ because in the title of the RAM you are purchasing it says “SO-DIM’ but when you get your RAM it will have the “S” on it if you are buying for a laptop.

What is the difference between 10600 and 12800 RAM?

10600 is 1333 ddr3 and 12800 is 1600 ddr3.

Which is faster PC3-12800 or PC3-10600?

Distinguished. I understand that PC3-12800 has a faster data rate (1600MT/s) while PC3-10600 is 1333MT/s. One’s faster than the other.

Is PC3-10600 the same as DDR3?

Today’s DDR3-1333 has a peak bandwidth of 10666 MHz, which can be improperly rounded down and called PC3-10600, rounded up to be called PC3-10700 or stated without rounding as PC3-10666 depending on the manufacturer’s desires.

What does PC3 10600 mean?

And for what it’s worth, the 10600 is another designation for DDR3 1333 DRAM, PC3 indicates DDR3 and the 10600 indicates the theoretical number of M/Ts (roughly MegaBytes per second)

What speed is PC3 10600s?

1333Mhz
Speed: PC3-10600 (DDR3-1333Mhz) RAM Type: Laptop.

Can I use 12800 and 10600 RAM together?

PC3-12800 works just fine as PC3-10600 speeds. Think of it as a car capable of going up to 120kmph on a 100kmph highway. It will work just fine. Regular DDR3 DIMMs are designed to work at 1.5 volt.

Can I use PC3-10600 instead of PC3-12800?

Yes most computers that use 10600 can support 12800.

What does 12800s mean?

New chipsets and processors from AMD® and Intel® now support memory operating at 1600MT/s (aka 1600MHz). DDR3-1600 memory has a module classification of PC3-12800, which effectively means the peak data rate of the module is 12.8GB/sec (see table). That’s about a 17% improvement on memory bandwidth over DDR3-1333.

What does PC3-10600 mean?

What PC3-12800?

PC3-12800 is a PC DRAM bus specification. All x86 based computers use a 64 bit wide memory channel. When that memory channel is populated with DIMMs that use DDR3-1600 DRAM chips, the bandwidth is 12.8 gigabytes per second.

Can I use PC3 10600 instead of PC3 12800?

Which is better, the 10600 or the 12800?

The 12800 is likely the highest speed compatible with your laptop, and crucial is just saying that faster = better. Was this post helpful? Thanks for your feedback! I would go with the 10600 myself, because, in my experience anyway, the differing speeds can cause the system to not boot.

Which is faster DDR 1333 or 12800 MB / s?

12800 MB/s (DDR3-1600) Vs 10600 MB/s (DDR3-1333) This is the speed of the RAM Clearly DDR3-1600 is able to run faster than DDR-1333. But thats only the modules ability not what the system is running its memory bus speed at. Your MacBook was designed for PC3-10600 DDR3 SDRAM, its best to stick with what Apple expects.

Can you use 12800s RAM on a PC3?

The 12800S RAM The answer, unfortunately is not definitive. Usually, yes. But, because of no strict standardization enforcement it may not work. I’d say better to order DDR3 if that is what originally came with your motherboard. I bought 3 PC3L RAM different brands all did not work on my PC3 system.

What does the RAM speed rating really mean?

What RAM Speed Ratings Mean. The speed rating of your RAM module is an expression of its data transfer rate. The faster the number, the faster your computer can store and retrieve the data stored in local memory. The formula for the exact speed rating changes slightly based on the version of DDR memory your computer is using (see below).
