What is ESDRAM ?
| Enhanced Synchronous DRAM |
|
ESDRAM Made by Enhanced Memory Systems. Includes a small static RAM (SRAM) in the SDRAM chip. This means that many accesses will be from the faster SRAM. In case the SRAM doesn't have the data, there is a wide bus between the SRAM and the SDRAMs because they are on the same chip. ESDRAM is the synchronous version of Enhanced Memory System's EDRAM architecture. Both EDRAM and ESDRAM devices are in the category of cached DRAM and are used mainly for L2 cache Memory. ESDRAM is apparently competing with DDR SDRAM as a faster SDRAM chip for Socket 7 processors. |
