Memory Performance
AIDA 64 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.
As expected we saw increased memory throughput across the board as well as a reduced latency response. Had we been testing a native 2400MHz kit, instead of an overclocked 1866 kit with slackened timings, we’d probably have seen stronger results here.
great work there fella, a good in depth look at kaveri, and good luck with the overclocking, I found it hard, but that was on an FM1 chipset, with a 1600mhz kit, looking at this report, seems I should have went for a 1866 or 2133 kit, then tried to overclock, thanks for the info, and the time and effort put into these kaveri reports, Cheers !
Great article. I wasn’t sure how much memory was too much or too little with the new chips. Also thanks for including a page looking at the Dual Graphics impact.
Would have been a much better article if you would have also included overclocking… of both CPU, iGPU and RAM… While for gaming, something like 4-4,4GHz would have been enough, reaching 900+ MHz on the iGPU and going above 2400MHz on the RAM would have been amazing. 2400 and above might not matter at stock, but when you manage to go to the 1020MHz preset or above on the iGPU… then I’m pretty sure the memory limitations would start to matter a lot more again.
A bit late…but we did test with 2400MHz and an overclocked iGPU here:

We didn;’t overclock the CPU at the same time because doing so will cause the iGPU to thermal/power throttle even when turning APM off.

can i do below activity in this configuration
AMD Kaveri A10 7850K APU Overclocked… To 4.7 GHz
please guide me
thanks a lot. really helpful.
