One interesting tidbit to come out of today is that iPhone 4 will have double the RAM that the iPhone 3GS had.

If you’re not familiar with RAM (or Random Access Memory), it is a form of computer data storage which controls how much graphic-intensive elements you can run at any one time.

If you’ve ever picked up an iPhone 3G and compared it to the iPhone 3GS while gaming, you’ll understand just how valuable RAM can be to your whole visual experience on devices such as iPhone 4.

Today @MacRumors is reporting it has been able to confirm that in one of the WWDC sessions last week, it was confirmed iPhone 4 would feature 512 MB of RAM. Not only has Apple never stated this technical specification, it is also worth noting that both the iPhone 3GS and recently shipped iPad only currently ship with 256MB of the stuff.

512MB is big news for those of you who are upgrading to iPhone 4 for performance reasons – in Steve’s words, this thing is going to scream.

    That has to be the worst definition of RAM I have ever seen =/

    RAM has absolutely nothing to do with graphics. RAM is simply an integrated memory chip that allows software to store and access information while the computer is on (This information is lost when the computer/device is switched off).

    Sure, having more RAM will speed up software applications and games by allowing them to store more information for fast retrieval, but RAM alone does not determine how fast your graphical applications will run.

    Sorry, had to point that out 😉
