Home Applications Memory Module Bandwidth Calculator

Use this memory module calculator to estimate two key performance metrics: total memory capacity based on address lines, and theoretical data bandwidth for a given clock frequency and bus width. Understanding these metrics helps hardware designers optimize module selection, balance cost and performance, and ensure reliable operation in high-speed systems.

Memory Module Bandwidth Calculator

Enter clock frequency and bus width to calculate theoretical peak bandwidth in gigabytes per second (GB/s).

Note: Bandwidth (GB/s) = (Frequency × Bus Width) ÷ 8 ÷ 1000

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Memory Module?

A Memory Module is a printed circuit board that holds DRAM chips to provide volatile storage in computing systems.

How does address line count affect capacity?

The number of address lines (n) determines the unique addresses: 2n locations, each storing one byte. Thus, capacity = 2n ÷ 1,048,576 MB.

Why calculate theoretical bandwidth?

Theoretical bandwidth gives the maximum data rate under ideal conditions, useful for comparing module performance.

What factors reduce real-world throughput?

Protocol overhead, latencies, signal integrity and controller efficiency all reduce effective throughput below the theoretical peak.

How can I improve Memory Module performance?

Choose modules with higher clock rates, wider bus widths, and optimized timings (CAS latency, tRCD, tRP). Good cooling and quality PCBs also help.
