SRAM vs DRAM

I would like to share this info with you about Static and Dynamic Ram:
  • SRAM multi transistors per bit whereas DRAM uses one transistor and two capacitors per bit.
  • DRAM needs to periodically refreshed "recharged" in order to maintain its value. That is why it is called dynamic.
  • SRAM is faster compared to DRAM
  • SRAM consumes less power than DRAM
  • SRAM is more expensive than DRAM
  • Cheaper DRAM is used in main memory while SRAM is commonly used in cache memory
