The earliest DRAMs were often synchronized with the CPU clock (clocked) and were used with early microprocessors. In the mid-1970s, DRAMs moved to the asynchronous design, but in the 1990s returned to synchronous operation.<ref>{{cite book | author=P.

SDRAM latency is not inherently lower (faster access times) than asynchronous DRAM. Indeed, early SDRAM was somewhat slower than contemporaneous [[burst EDO DRAM]] due to the additional logic. The benefits of SDRAM's internal buffering come from its ability to interleave operations to multiple banks of memory, thereby increasing effective [[Bandwidth (computing)|bandwidth]].
Today, virtually all SDRAM is manufactured in compliance with standards established by [[JEDEC]], an electronics industry association that adopts [[open standards]] to facilitate interoperability of electronic components. JEDEC formally adopted its first SDRAM standard in 1993 and subsequently adopted other SDRAM standards, including those for [[DDR SDRAM|DDR]], [[DDR2 SDRAM|DDR2]] and [[DDR3 SDRAM]].
[[Double data rate]] SDRAM, known as [[DDR SDRAM]], was first demonstrated by Samsung in 1997.<ref name="techpowerup">{{cite web |title=Samsung 30 nm Green PC3-12800 Low Profile 1.35 V DDR3 Review |url=https://www.techpowerup.com/review/samsung-mv-3v4g3/ |website=TechPowerUp |access-date=25 June 2019 |date= March 8, 2012}}</ref> Samsung released the first commercial DDR SDRAM chip (64{{nbsp}}Mbit{{binpre}}) in June 1998,<ref name="samsung99"/><ref name="samsung98"/><ref name="phys"/> followed soon after by [[Hyundai Electronics]] (now [[SK Hynix]]) the same year.<ref name="hynix90s">{{cite web |title=History: 1990s |url=http://www.az5miao.com/history1990.html |website=az5miao |access-date=4 April 2022}}</ref>
SDRAM is also available in [[Registered memory|registered]] varieties, for systems that require greater scalability such as [[Server (computing)|server]]s and [[workstations]].
