I use the following command: wmic path Win32_PhysicalMemory get TypeDetail
to get the type detail value. It returns: 16512
. From the Microsoft docs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/cimwin32prov/win32-physicalmemory
Only the following values are available:
Reserved (1)
Other (2)
Unknown (4)
Fast-paged (8)
Static column (16)
Pseudo-static (32)
RAMBUS (64)
Synchronous (128)
CMOS (256)
EDO (512)
Window DRAM (1024)
Cache DRAM (2048)
Non-volatile (4096)
But there is no description for value: 16512
. So, my question is: how to get the description for this value?
Per Microsoft documentation it appears that the value comes from SMBIOS information. If we break down the value 16512
to bits, we'll see that bits 7 and 14 are set. From SMBIOS spec, section 7.18.3 Memory Device — Type Detail, we can see that bit 7 indicates Synchronous
and bit 14 indicates Unbuffered (unregistered)
.
