Performance - DDR3 Memory read | write
Memory Read test
Obviously we also had to peek at memory bandwidth performance. Now, obviously Intel has an advantage here, triple-channel memory. This explains the tremendous amount of read performance for the Core i7 platform.
Now we enforced a slight change and are selecting a 1333 MHz DDR3 frequency from now on for the Phenom II processors. The difference in performance over 1066MHz is close to NIL though.
Memory Write test
We did the same with the memory write tests. Intel absolutely dominates with the on-die memory controller based Nehalem family processors.
