Exceleram DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz 4GB Memory Review

Everest – Memory Write

This benchmark measures the maximum achiveable memory write bandwidth. The code behind this benchmark method is written in Assembly and it is extremely optimized for every popular AMD and Intel processor core variants by utilizing the appropriate x86, MMX, 3DNow!, SSE or SSE2 instruction set extension. The benchmark writes a 16 MB sized, 1 MB aligned data buffer from the CPU into the system memory. Memory is written in forward direction, continuously without breaks.

In order to avoid concurrent threads competing over system memory bandwidth, Memory Write benchmark utilizes only one processor core and one thread.

Memory write tests took a slightly different direction with the Kingston memory coming out on top, but only slightly which gives us an insight as to how this memory could perform if pushed right to the limits.

Overclocked Results:

Once again, we see a 400MB/s increase from our overclock, which would pit this memory as the second fastest kit we’ve looked at, giving significant margin over the Kingston kits that beat it at stock speeds.
