Performance Comparisons

Performance of the Mushkin Redline XP4000 was compared to all of the memory recently tested on the AMD Athlon 64 platform. We did not test on an Intel platform, since the last two generations of Intel chipsets have supported DDR2 instead of DDR memory. However, the AMD results can also be generally compared to previous benchmark results on the Intel 875 memory test bed. More results are available in recent DDR memory reviews:

Memory Performance Comparisons

For consistency, memory performance was only compared to other memory tested on the DFI nForce4 memory test bed. Test results were compared at 200x12 (2.4Ghz, DDR400), 218x11 (2.4Ghz, DDR438), 240x10 (2.4Ghz, DDR480), 267x9 (2.4Ghz, DDR533), and the Highest Memory Performance that we could reach. With a constant CPU speed, memory comparisons (except for top-speed and performance) show the true impact of faster speed and slower memory timings on memory performance.

    I'm just wondering what cooling was used for this RAM at the high voltages. I'm thinking of getting some, and I'm wondering if using a Zalman FB123 in 'silent mode' would be sufficient.

    Well, here's something interesting for the DDR2 is too expensive crowd:

    @ fitten (#18): >there is no such thing as "super stable". It's either stable or it isn't< TRUE !
    I have a very special way of testing OC-ed hardware if is stable, check my site ...

    @ Barkuti (#22): >A retest for the not that high clockspeed modules would be nice< I Agree, by maybe adding another test program for testing them, see my proposal downthere ...

    Using Sandra mem.bench: the problem is that 95% of people do not understand properly, what are those results Sandra gives them & do not know how much impact have on real life PC performance. So for ordinary user, Sandra mem.benchmark tells a s**t!

    My (research) article "about BENCH´ING MEMORY -real life"
    with WinRAR´s built_in benchmark & hardware test" - on my site:
    some tests/benchmarks & explanation HOW IT WORKS, is here directly:

    [especially the yellow column is interesting!]
