SSD Performance Real World Benchmarks
Real World Benchmarks
The storage benchmark of PCMark8 is based on traces from Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Adobe After Effects, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, World of Warcraft, and Battlefield 3. The total score is determined by the geometric mean of the different parts. Again, the traces are measured in 'real time', and include idle time. The score is an average of three runs for all ten of the trace tests. All scores on this page are given as the number of seconds needed for the workflow to finish up, so lower is better.
Battlefield 3
The storage trace is recorded when the user starts Battlefield 3, logs in, loads a saved game, and starts playing. The trace is based on 887 MB of reads and 28 MB of writes.
World of Warcraft
This World of Warcraft trace contains the start of the game, login in and starting a level. The trace contains 390 MB of reading tasks and 5 MB of writing assignments.
Adobe Photoshop Light
This trace consists of starting Photoshop, opening 14 images, and executing seven operations on each of them. The trace contains 313 MB of reading tasks and 2336 MB of writing assignments.
Adobe Photoshop Heavy
This trace is based on editing a high-resolution photo and creating a hi-res poster for print. The trace contains 468 MB of reads and 5640 MB of write assignments.
Adobe InDesign
In this trace, a publication with a large number of images is created in InDesign. The trace contains 401 MB of reading tasks and 624 MB of writing assignments.
Today, we are looking at Patriot Viper Steel RGB 3600 MHz CL20 (yes – 20!) memory in a 32 GB set consisting of two 16 GB modules. I can say that we’ve had our fair share of experience with Patriot RAM. We had an opportunity to test a similarly clocked kit (3600 MHz) from the Viper Steel series (so no RGB there), but the capacity was 2 x 32 GB back then, and the latencies were quite surprisingly better, at 18-22-22-42. Before that, we also reviewed one of the fastest 2 x 8 GB kits in the range, clocked at 4000 MHz with CL19 latency.
Patriot Viper Steel DDR4 3600 MHz (64GB) review
Today, we are looking at Patriot Viper Steel 3600 MHz CL18 memory in a 64 GB set consisting of two 32 GB modules. At the beginning of 2019, we had an opportunity to check a higher-clocked kit from that series (4000 MHz), but the capacity was 2 x 8 GB. Patriot’s Viper Steel Series is offered at speeds ranging from 3000 MHz up to 4400 MHz, with XMP 2.0 support.
