DDR2Generation
DDR2Generation refers to the second generation of double data rate SDRAM (DDR2 SDRAM). Introduced by JEDEC in the early 2000s, it followed DDR SDRAM and was adopted widely in desktops, notebooks, and servers during the mid- to late-2000s. The generation aimed to deliver higher bandwidth and lower power consumption to support faster processors and more memory-intensive workloads.
Technical characteristics include a prefetch architecture that effectively doubles available bandwidth and a lower operating voltage
Form factors and compatibility: DDR2 modules are designed for the DDR2 memory space, most notably desktop DIMMs
Market presence and decline: DDR2 was the dominant memory generation in the mid- to late-2000s for many
