Memory Performance

For our memory tests we use the built-in memory benchmarks in AIDA64 Engineer, Geekbench 4, PerformanceTest, and SiSoftware Sandra. A wider array of tests will give us a wider array of results.

AIDA64 Engineer

AIDA64 Engineer provides several methods to measure system performance. These benchmarks are synthetic, i.e. the results show only the theoretical (maximum) performance of the system. In contrast to application tests, synthetic benchmarks do not tend to reflect the “real world” performance of the computer. These benchmarks provide a quick and easy comparison between computer states, e.g. when certain parameters (CPU clock speed, memory timings, etc.) change in system configuration.

GeekBench 4

Geekbench 4 measures your system’s power and tells you whether your computer is ready to roar. How strong is your mobile device or desktop computer? How will it perform when push comes to crunch? These are the questions that Geekbench can answer.

PerformanceTest 8.0

PerformanceTest is a fast, easy to use software benchmarking tool that allows everybody to quickly assess the performance of their PC and compare it to a list of standard ‘baseline’ computer systems. With it, you can compare the performance of your machine, measure the effect of configuration changes and upgrades, and make objective, independent measurements on which to base your purchasing decision.

SiSoftware Sandra

SiSoftware Sandra is a system analyser that includes benchmarking, testing and listing modules. It tries to go beyond other utilities to show you more of what is going on under the hood, so you draw comparisons at both a high and low-level in a single product.
