Bandwidth Testing – 8000UL
Like the 5400UL on the previous page we will now perform simple bandwidth measurement tests on the XMS2 8000UL counterpart and compare it to the older Kingston RAM.
* Kingston @ 533 MHz 4-4-4-12
In SiSoft Sandra, the 8000UL shows some nice improvements in bandwidth as you decrease the timings. Surprisingly changing the memory frequency from 667 MHz to 800 MHz had no effect.
* Kingston @ 533 MHz 4-4-4-12
* Kingston @ 533 MHz 4-4-4-12
In Everest, we once again see no improvement in changing the frequency from 667 MHz to 800 MHz. In fact at 667 MHz, 3-3-2-8 has much better read performance.
I will be very curious to see how this anomaly manifests itself in gaming.
* Kingston @ 533 MHz 4-4-4-12
Latency reflects the results above. As we can see again, the differences between 4-4-4-12 and 3-3-2-8 is not significant.
