Synthetic numbers are simply the best way to show you the exact difference between timings and frequencies. Something that is very hard to show with games. Above three separate CPU tests with (as comparison) an Athlon X2 3800+ thrown in.
Once we overclock and thus rise that FSB we see memory performance go up fast.
Once overclocked we have the memory running at ~1066 MHz we can see read/write/copy performance rise towards 10.000 MB/sec.
File Encryption & Decompression
Encrypting is becoming more and more popular task with file sharing. Many companies already have a policy where all emails for instance must be encrypted. This test involves encrypting of different kind of files.
File decompression are very popular tasks in todays PC usage, especially files transferred over a network are almost without exception always compressed. These tests use the open source Zlib data compression library.
The amount of operations processed during the 20 second run time is calculated for both tests and the metrics is Megabytes processed per second.
And as promised some additional results between the two 6400C4 memory low-latency and 8500C5 high-frequency memory.
Really impressive huh ? We boost bandwith up another half a gig per second purely with tighter timings. This is a very good example and thus the stuff you can pull off with the nForce 590 SLI platform and exotic memory like this Corsair 6400C4, which is a 2GB kit I might need to add.
I really like this memory. Anyway .. onward with the benchmarks. Next page please.
