220-1101 · Question #140
The engineering department has requested a new laptop with an Intel i7 Quad-Core and 32GB of RAM. Which of the following are the correct type of RAM and the form factor for this laptop?
The correct answer is E. SODIMM DDR4. For a modern laptop with an Intel i7 Quad-Core processor requesting 32GB of RAM, the correct RAM type and form factor would be SODIMM DDR4. SODIMM is the compact form factor for laptops, and DDR4 is the current generation of RAM compatible with modern CPUs.

Why each option
For a modern laptop with an Intel i7 Quad-Core processor requesting 32GB of RAM, the correct RAM type and form factor would be SODIMM DDR4. SODIMM is the compact form factor for laptops, and DDR4 is the current generation of RAM compatible with modern CPUs.
DDR2 is an older generation of RAM that is much slower and incompatible with modern Intel i7 processors.
SO-DIMM DDR2 is an older generation of laptop RAM that is not compatible with modern Intel i7 processors and would not meet performance expectations.
DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) is the standard form factor for desktop computers and servers, not laptops. DDR3 is an older generation of RAM.
DIMM DDR4 is the correct RAM type but the incorrect form factor for a laptop; DIMMs are used in desktops and servers.
SODIMM (Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module) is the compact form factor specifically designed for laptops and other small-form-factor devices. DDR4 is the current generation of RAM used with modern Intel i7 processors, offering higher speeds and lower power consumption than previous generations.
