Difference Between SRAM and DRAM


Listen Later

Speed isn’t just a spec — it’s the memory’s heartbeat.

Every instruction your CPU fires depends on how fast your RAM can whisper data back.


SRAM whispers instantly.

DRAM answers… after a quick recharge.


One stores bits with stable latches.

The other stores bits as tiny electric droplets that constantly fade unless refreshed.

Two memories, two personalities — one built for pure speed, the other built for capacity.


In this episode:


• How SRAM uses transistor-based latches for near-zero access latency

• Why DRAM stores bits in capacitors that constantly drain

• Cache vs main memory — where each one lives and why

• Speed, cost, power consumption, density, and real-world performance

• When to choose SRAM, when DRAM saves the system budget


SRAM is the sprinter — fast, explosive, expensive.

DRAM is the marathon runner — cheaper, denser, everywhere.

Your system needs both to breathe properly.


🎯 And my book carries the same mindset:

Fewer bugs → faster systems → stronger products.
