SRAM exhibits data remanence, but it is still volatile in the conventional sense that data is eventually lost when the memory is not powered . </P> <P> The term static differentiates SRAM from DRAM (dynamic random - access memory) which must be periodically refreshed . SRAM is faster and more expensive than DRAM; it is typically used for CPU cache while DRAM is used for a computer's main memory . </P> <Ul> <Li> Low power consumption </Li> <Li> Simplicity--a refresh circuit is not needed </Li> <Li> Reliability </Li> </Ul>

Where is static ram used in a computer
