Performance - DDR4 System Memory

Performance System Memory: Memory Read Test

For our tests we are using 4 x 8GB G-Skill 3200 14-14-14-34 Memory model number F4-3200C14D-16GTZR, these are XMP ready. Thus in the BIOS we enabled XMP, and everything will be configured for you at 3200 MHz / CL14 / 1.35V. You simply select and save the mode, and you'll boot into Windows configured at these settings and now in quad-channel mode as well. 

  
Considering we are giving the AMD Ryzen Threadripper platform the advantage of 2933/3200 MHz memories, we do the same for Intel these days. We moved all processor testing to 3200 MHz DDR4, both for AMD and Intel for fair play. 
 

  
So above you can see the memory setup in default mode - that would be called the NUMA "local" mode as explained in an earlier chapter in the memory segment of this article.

Mind you that the BIOS did not yet allow to switch ijbetween UMA and NUMA modes. We'll take this as-is for now though and will update once AIDA finalizes their build. The memory latency measure  however seems spot on at ~90ns.
