Most of DRAM-based semiconductor circuits are (currently) synchronized with the clock (signal).

What about:

Most of DRAM-based semiconductor circuits are (currently) synchronized with the clock (signal).

I am not sure what DRAMの半導体装置 really is. If you say "semiconductor equipment," it sounds like semionductor device fabrication equioment, and I don't think this is the case.

As a matter of how you translate it, I guess you could say something like, "The (current) mainstream of DRAM-based semiconductor cirsuits are of the type that synchronizes with the clock signal" to be more faithful to the original. I think this is unnecessarily wordy in English. Would you agree?

Most of DRAM semiconductor devices are synchronized with the (system)clock

DRAM-Dynamic Random Access Memory

Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) is faster because it is synchronized to the system clock, 7.5 ns; DDR SDRAM, 3ns; RDRAM (Intel and Rambus is trying to push), ...

Most DRAM-based semiconductor devices are synchronized with the system clock.

Due to the context, I feel that "system" should be added.

semiconductor devices operating in sync with a clock signal predominate DRAMs

I had to laugh at the 装置 bit because, in the semiconductor business, we don't call DRAMs "chips." They're "devices."

BTW, "synchronized with the clock signal" gets things backwards. The clock signal "drives" the device's circuits. Yes, the result is synchronization, but...

Time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once.
Space is what prevents everything from happening to me.

neutral Raitei : Somehow I cannot get my brain around this wording. The way it is written, it can be interpreted that semiconductor devices and DRAMs are two different things (Buffet spreads at sushi restaurants predominates Vancouver's lower mainland.)
