Is Static RAM faster or slower than DRAM?

Static RAM (SRAM) is generally faster than Dynamic RAM (DRAM). SRAM uses a more complex architecture that allows it to access data more quickly, making it suitable for cache memory in processors. In contrast, DRAM is slower because it requires periodic refreshing of its stored data. However, SRAM is also more expensive and takes up more space than DRAM, which is why DRAM is commonly used for main memory in computers.
