SODIMM RAM

 SODIMM RAM

SODIMM (Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module) RAM is a memory module used primarily on laptops and other compact devices. Here are some key features: 

Compact Size: SODIMM modules are about half the size of standard DIMMs, making them ideal for devices with limited space.

Performance: Despite their smaller size, SODIMMs perform similarly to their larger counterparts, supporting various speeds and capacities.

Versatility: They come in different types, including DDR3, DDR4, and the latest DDR5 variants, allowing for upgrades and compatibility with various devices.

Pin Configuration: SODIMMs have different pin counts depending on the generation (e.g., DDR3 SODIMMs have 204 pins, while DDR4 SODIMMs have 260 pins), ensuring they fit specific slots on motherboards.

Energy Efficiency: Newer generations of SODIMMs, like DDR4 and DDR5, are designed to consume less power, which benefits battery-operated devices.
