Memory bandwidth in computational architecture refers to the rate at which data can be transferred between a computer's memory and its processor. In other words, it is the amount of information that can be accessed from or written to the memory in a given amount of time. A higher memory bandwidth allows for faster data transfer, which is important for tasks that require a lot of memory access, such as gaming and high-performance computing. Memory bandwidth is usually measured in gigabytes per second (GB/s).
