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.
Nice Review
32GB-DDR4 just a little bit of Ram then 🙂 , thats going to cost abit also do you think intel will unlock more cores on HEDT chips in the future, i can see exstream overclockers having fun, what with the option of x4 GPUs and not using thermal paste
Yes I think so, I see scalability of the LGA 2011-3 platform in terms of cores considering the equivalent Xeon platform in the same package has up to 16 cores
i think i see what your getting at your saying the 2011-3 has been brought up to the same as the Xeon chips with its 8 cores and 16 threads already which has acheived a better chip for a lower price than the Xeon. So this could be seen as a sign of future chips with more cores being unlocked on other platforms. i still run a 1366 i7 extreme 975 at 4000.00MHz or there abouts i am looking to upgrade now as its been some 5 years 🙂
