System Memory Bandwidth Performance

So here is a mixture of dual and quad-channel results varying with processors and platforms. We tested the memory as highlighted in the charts. Now, with regular memory at 2666 MHz, you will see performance hovering at the 40K marker, there is nothing wrong with that at all. It's just that you can get so much more bandwidth at a higher frequency, but at the cost slower timings.

Please read: You will have noticed that the Ryzen 3000 processors with up to 8 cores make use of one CPU die. Here the write performance is halved. This is normal behavior. Client workloads do very little pure writing, so the CCD/IOD link is 32B/cycle while reading and 16B/cycle for writing. This allows AMD to save power and area inside the package to spend on other, more beneficial areas. Our tests back this up, we see little to no perf effect application-wise.

G.Skill TridentZ5 6400 CL32 DDR5 scaling review

G.Skill TridentZ 5 DDR5 5600 CL36 review
G.Skill has prepared very well for launching a new memory standard and has presented three DDR5 series: the Trident Z5 (5600-6400 MHz), the Trident Z5 RGB (the same range as the non-RGB’s), and the Ripjaws S5 (5200-5600 MHz). They all come in 32 GB kits (2 x 16 GB), and their frequency is higher than the base 4800 MHz. Today, we are checking the G.Skill TridentZ5 5600 MHz CL36 DDR5 kit. It’s not the high-end of the series, as even the 6400 MHz CL32 are available, and the 5600 MHz is the lowest frequency you can get from this DDR5 family.

G.Skill Z5i (Mini ITX) chassis review
This time, we're checking out the G.Skill Z5i, the first chassis from a company known the most from the RAM. Some can remember that there's an AIO (Enki) available, as well as the keyboards (like KM360), mice (and mousepad), headsets, or PSUs. The attempt is made in a not-so-popular segment, meaning the Mini-ITX (so that's one of the reasons for the mentioned limit). This choice is a brave one as it's not so easy to create a good product here. Yes, it's gaining the share, but the ATX is dominating (maybe we'll also see something from G.Skill?).
