Stacked DRAM
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Memory module.
Overview
The large memories found in personal computers, workstations, and non-handheld game-consoles normally consist of dynamic RAM (DRAM). Other parts of the computer, such as cache memories normally use static RAM. Small amounts of SRAM are sometimes used in the same package as DRAM. However, since SRAM has high leakage power and low density, die-stacked DRAM has recently been used for designing multi-megabyte sized processor caches.
