Both performed worse than the original DDR specification due to higher latency, which made total access times longer. However, the original DDR technology tops out at a clock rate around 200 MHz (400 MT/s). Higher performance DDR chips exist, but JEDEC has stated that they will not be standardized. These chips are mostly standard DDR chips that have been tested and rated to be capable of operation at higher clock rates by the manufacturer. Such chips draw significantly more power than slower-clocked chips, but usually offered little or no improvement in real-world performance, unless bandwidth dependent tasks such as integrated graphics rendering are used. DDR2 started to become competitive against the older DDR standard by the end of 2004, as modules with lower latencies became available.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Specification">Specification</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=DDR2_SDRAM&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Specification"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Overview">Overview</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=DDR2_SDRAM&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Overview"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Samsung-1GB-DDR2-Laptop-RAM.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2c/Samsung-1GB-DDR2-Laptop-RAM.jpg/220px-Samsung-1GB-DDR2-Laptop-RAM.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="139" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2c/Samsung-1GB-DDR2-Laptop-RAM.jpg/330px-Samsung-1GB-DDR2-Laptop-RAM.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2c/Samsung-1GB-DDR2-Laptop-RAM.jpg/440px-Samsung-1GB-DDR2-Laptop-RAM.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2840" data-file-height="1800" /></a><figcaption>PC2-5300 DDR2 SO-DIMM (for notebooks)</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Desktop_DDR_Memory_Comparison.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Desktop_DDR_Memory_Comparison.svg/250px-Desktop_DDR_Memory_Comparison.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="331" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Desktop_DDR_Memory_Comparison.svg/330px-Desktop_DDR_Memory_Comparison.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Desktop_DDR_Memory_Comparison.svg/500px-Desktop_DDR_Memory_Comparison.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="575" data-file-height="865" /></a><figcaption>Comparison of memory modules for desktop PCs (DIMM)</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Laptop_SODIMM_DDR_Memory_Comparison_V2.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/95/Laptop_SODIMM_DDR_Memory_Comparison_V2.svg/220px-Laptop_SODIMM_DDR_Memory_Comparison_V2.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="311" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/95/Laptop_SODIMM_DDR_Memory_Comparison_V2.svg/330px-Laptop_SODIMM_DDR_Memory_Comparison_V2.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/95/Laptop_SODIMM_DDR_Memory_Comparison_V2.svg/440px-Laptop_SODIMM_DDR_Memory_Comparison_V2.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="744" data-file-height="1052" /></a><figcaption>Comparison of memory modules for portable/mobile PCs (SO-DIMM)</figcaption></figure> <p>The key difference between DDR2 and DDR SDRAM is the increase in prefetch length. In DDR SDRAM, the prefetch length is two bits for every bit in a word; whereas it is four bits in DDR2 SDRAM. During an access, four bits are read or written to or from a four-bit-deep prefetch queue. This queue receives or transmitts its data over the data bus in two data bus clock cycles (each clock cycle transferrs two bits of data). Increasing the prefetch length allowed DDR2 SDRAM to double the rate at which data can be transferred over the data bus without a corresponding doubling in the rate at which the DRAM array can be accessed. DDR2 SDRAM is designed with such a scheme to avoid an excessive increase in power consumption. </p><p>DDR2's bus frequency is boosted by electrical interface improvements, <a href="/wiki/On-die_termination" title="On-die termination">on-die termination</a>, <a href="/wiki/Prefetch_buffer" class="mw-redirect" title="Prefetch buffer">prefetch buffers</a> and off-chip drivers. However, <a href="/wiki/Memory_latency" title="Memory latency">latency</a> is greatly increased as a trade-off. The DDR2 prefetch buffer is four bits deep, whereas it is two bits deep for DDR. While DDR SDRAM has typical read latencies of between two and three bus cycles, DDR2 may have read latencies between three and nine cycles, although the typical range is between four and six. Thus, DDR2 memory must be operated at twice the data rate to achieve the same latency. </p><p>Another cost of the increased bandwidth is the requirement that the chips are packaged in a more expensive and difficult to assemble <a href="/wiki/Ball_grid_array" title="Ball grid array">BGA</a> package as compared to the <a href="/wiki/TSSOP" class="mw-redirect" title="TSSOP">TSSOP</a> package of the previous memory generations such as <a href="/wiki/DDR_SDRAM" title="DDR SDRAM">DDR SDRAM</a> and <a href="/wiki/SDR_SDRAM" class="mw-redirect" title="SDR SDRAM">SDR SDRAM</a>. This packaging change was necessary to maintain signal integrity at higher bus speeds. </p><p>Power savings are achieved primarily due to an improved manufacturing process through die shrinkage, resulting in a drop in operating voltage (1.8 V compared to DDR's 2.5 V). The lower memory clock frequency may also enable power reductions in applications that do not require the highest available data rates. </p><p>According to JEDEC<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> the maximum recommended voltage is 1.9 volts and should be considered the absolute maximum when memory stability is an issue (such as in servers or other mission critical devices). In addition, JEDEC states that memory modules must withstand up to 2.3 volts before incurring permanent damage (although they may not actually function correctly at that level). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Chips_and_modules">Chips and modules</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=DDR2_SDRAM&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Chips and modules"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>For use in computers, DDR2 SDRAM is supplied in <a href="/wiki/DIMM" title="DIMM">DIMMs</a> with 240 pins and a single locating notch.

These cards actually use standard DDR2 chips designed for use as main system memory although operating with higher latencies to achieve higher clock rates. These chips cannot achieve the clock rates of GDDR3 but are inexpensive and fast enough to be used as memory on mid-range cards. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See
