row

/roʊ/

n. — "DRAM's horizontal data platter that must activate before CAS can serve column snacks."

Column Address Strobe

/kæs/

n. — "Clock cycles DRAM waits after row activation before coughing up column data."

ODT

/ˌoʊ diː ˈtiː/

n. — "ODT: termination resistors hiding inside DRAM dies, mocking external resistor packs while pretending signal reflections never happened."

Graphics Double Data Rate 6 eXtreme

/ˌdʒiː ˌdiː ˌdiː ˈɑːr sɪks ɛks/

n. — “GDDR6X: Nvidia's PAM4 fever dream that crams 21Gbps/pin by pretending analog noise doesn't hate multi-level signaling.”

Double Data Rate 2

/ˌdiː diː ˈɑːr tuː/

n. — "DDR2: DDR1's gym-rat sequel that halved voltage to 1.8V and pretended 4n prefetch made it bandwidth royalty."

Double Data Rate 1

/ˌdiː diː ˈɑːr wʌn/

n. — “DDR1: the plucky SDRAM pioneer that discovered both clock edges work, kickstarting the DDR dynasty before anyone cared.”

Double Data Rate 5

/ˌdiː diː ˈɑːr fɪv/

n. — “DDR5: DDR4 that split the channel in two and pretended PMIC wizardry fixed everything.”

Double Data Rate 4

/ˌdiː diː ˈɑːr fɔːr/

n. — “DDR4: DDR3 that traded fly-by mess for point-to-point purity and pretended 16 banks made it a parallelism god.”

Double Data Rate 3

/ˌdiː diː ˈɑːr θriː/

n. — “DDR3: DDR that slimmed down to 1.5V and pretended 8n prefetch made it a bandwidth baron.”

Double Data Rate

/ˌdiː diː ˈɑːr/

n. — “DDR: SDRAM that figured out both clock edges work, doubling bandwidth while pretending SDR wasn't embarrassingly slow.”
