Which of the following types of memory is PC3-8500?

The correct answer is C. DDR3. The 'PC3' prefix in a memory module's designation identifies it as DDR3 RAM. The naming convention works as follows: PC (DDR1), PC2 (DDR2), PC3 (DDR3), PC4 (DDR4). The number following the prefix (8500) represents the module's peak transfer bandwidth in MB/s. PC3-8500…

Explanation

The 'PC3' prefix in a memory module's designation identifies it as DDR3 RAM. The naming convention works as follows: PC (DDR1), PC2 (DDR2), PC3 (DDR3), PC4 (DDR4). The number following the prefix (8500) represents the module's peak transfer bandwidth in MB/s. PC3-8500 corresponds to DDR3-1066, running at an effective speed of 1066 MHz and delivering approximately 8500 MB/s of bandwidth. DDR and DDR2 use PC and PC2 prefixes respectively, and RAMBUS uses a different naming scheme entirely.
