System Memory Bandwidth Performance
System Memory Bandwidth Performance
As explained - Intel has a couple of certified partners for memory to get some sweet XMP (Xtreme Memory Profiles) 2.0 profiles going. We test memory both at the default 2933 MHz for DDR4 and then with a tweak enabled at 3333 MHz, both at CL15.
Default 2933 MHz
What you will notice are already very decent dual-channel read and write numbers. You are basically hovering in the ~44 GB/s range, which is excellent.
For a manual tweak, in the BIOS enable XMP, set Voltage towards 1.35 Volts and then increase the memory frequency until it crashes. For us 3466 Mhz would not run, however, 3300 MHz was totally stable:
Above - a tweaked frequency of 3333 MHz DDR4 - that's easy free bandwidth at the same timings.
