Performance System Memory: DDR3 Memory Read & Write

Performance System Memory: Memory Read Test

So for memory we had some good stuff to work with, Intel has a couple of certified partners for memory to get some sweet XMP 1.3 profiles going. We test memory at the default rated max intel spec at 1600 MHz.

Now with the regular memory at 1600 MHz versus AIDA memory tests we see good performance hovering at the 25K marker. 

Memory Write Test

We did the same with the memory write tests. The Write perf jumps to 25K.

So if you like to go a little more crazy, 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 a few percent with memory intensive applications like say transcoding, or a CPU limited game. Every bit helps though.
