Is DDR3 faster than DDR2?

DDR2 and DDR3 are the memories of the motherboard. Is ddr3 faster than ddr2? The answer is yes but not all the time and it still has its disadvantages too. It’s faster and has more bandwidth and produces less heat but when dealing on the price of ddr3, it’s two to three times more expensive than ddr2 memory especially when choosing a 4GB kit. Ddr2 memory has very tight timings therefore, even at its lowest range of speed, it can still outperform ddr3 memory to its highest speed. Bandwidth and memory latency are the factors that affect the speed of performance by both memories.
