System Memory Bandwidth Performance

System Memory Bandwidth Performance

As explained - Intel has a couple of certified partners for memory to get some sweet XMP (Extreme Memory profiles) 2.0 profiles going. We test memory both at the default SPD/JEDEC 2,133 MHz for DDR4 and then with XMP 2.0 enabled at 3,000 MHz.
 

Default 2133 MHz - A bit boring?

What you will notice are pretty far our dual-channel read and write numbers. These are the default SPD timings. You are basically hoevering towards 30 GB/sec range. Things however will get more crazy quickly, behold the some more below:

Team group send out the DDR4 memory rated at 3,000 MHz. That my friends is configured by enabling XMP in the BIOS, and that's it. The memory bandwidth will change fairly dramatically:

Hello 40K GB/sec ranges. So if you like to go a little more crazy in bandwidth, purchase some nice compatible faster XMP ready memory and enable that XMP profile in the BIOS. Faster memory is relative though, your overall PC experience will not be much faster, yet memory intensive applications like say transcoding or a CPU limited game that where you could see little gains.
