Memory Benchmarks – AIDA64 and SiSoft Sandra
AIDA64 Engineer
AIDA64 Engineer is a streamlined Windows diagnostic and benchmarking software for engineers. It has unique capabilities to assess the performance of the processor, system memory, and disk drives. AIDA64 is compatible with all current 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating systems, including Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. Memory and cache benchmarks are available to analyze system RAM bandwidth and latency. Download here.
SiSoft Sandra
The SiSoft Sandra memory benchmark is based on STREAM. STREAM is a popular memory bandwidth benchmark that has been used on personal computers to super computers. It measures sustained memory bandwidth not burst or peak. Therefore, the results may be lower than those of other benchmarks. Download a free trial version of SiSoft Sandra here.
Memory Latency
As per usual, the AMD chips seems to have trouble communicating with the memory when compared to Intel’s offerings. However we see the A8-7650k offering consistent performance against the rest of the Kaveri clan.
