Question

What is the transfer rate of a 64-bit module running at 1600 MHz? (8x speed because DIMM has an 8-byte/64-bit data path)

1) 1600 MB/second
2) 3200 MB/second
3) 6400 MB/second
4) 12800 MB/second

Answer 1

The transfer rate of the 64-bit module running at 1600 MHz is 12800 MB/second.

Step-by-step explanation:

The transfer rate of a 64-bit module running at 1600 MHz can be calculated by multiplying the frequency by the width of the data path. In this case, the width of the data path is 8 bytes or 64 bits, so the transfer rate will be 1600 MHz x 8 bytes = 12800 MB/second.
