Short for Synchronous DRAM, a type of DRAM that can run at much higher clock speeds than conventional memory. SDRAM actually synchronizes itself with the CPU's bus and is capable of running at 133 MHz, about three times faster than conventional FPM RAM, and about twice as fast EDO DRAM and BEDO DRAM. SDRAM is replacing EDO DRAM in many newer computers.

SDRAM is a variant of DRAM in which the memory speed is synchronized with the clock pulse from the CPU.

This synchronization enables the SDRAM to pipeline read and write requests. Pipelining enables the SDRAM to accept commands at the same time as it is processing other commands.

There are three variants of SDRAM:

Single Data Rate SDRAM - SDR SDRAM

Dual Data Rate SDRAM - DDR SDRAM
