Lets see what the kit is capable of at stick..then we will move on to overclocking.
The other kits were included only to compare stock performance.
First up let me tell the benchmarks am going to run to show the capabilities of this kit.
- Super Pi 1.5
- Wprime 1.55
- Aida 64 Memory Benchmark suite
All the runs were made in a freshly installed windows Seven Ultimate SP1 Installation with reboots in between every benchmark.An average of three runs were taken into consideration to rule out margin of error as much as possible.
Super PI 1.5
(lower times are better)
Super PI is a computer program that calculates pi to a specified number of digits after the decimal point – up to a maximum of 32 million. It uses Gauss-Legendre algorithm and is a Windows port of the program used by Yasumasa Kanada in 1995 to compute Pi to 32Million digits
Super PI is extremely sensitive to ram timings,specifically the 32M computation.We can see the Kingston kit is beating its counterpart easily.
Wprime 1.55
(lower times are better)
wPrime uses a recursive call of Newton’s method for estimating functions, with f(x)=x2-k, where k is the number we’re sqrting, until Sgn(f(x)/f'(x)) does not equal that of the previous iteration, starting with an estimation of k/2. It then uses an iterative calling of the estimation method a set amount of times to increase the accuracy of the results. It then confirms that n(k)2=k to ensure the calculation was correct. It repeats this for all numbers from 1 to the requested maximum.
Not much to say here the Kingston wins again.
Aida 64 memory Benchmark
(higher is better in case of Memory bandwidth,lower is better in case of latency)
AIDA64 Extreme Edition is a streamlined Windows diagnostic and benchmarking software for home users.
Memory bandwidth benchmarks (Memory Read, Memory Write, Memory Copy) measure the maximum achiveable memory data transfer bandwidth. The code behind these benchmark methods are written in Assembly and they are extremely optimized for every popular AMD and Intel processor core variants by utilizing the appropriate x86, MMX, 3DNow!, SSE, SSE2 or SSE4.1 instruction set extension.
The Memory Latency benchmark measures the typical delay when the CPU reads data from system memory. Memory latency time means the penalty measured from the issuing of the read command until the data arrives to the integer registers of the CPU.
Again the Kingston kit wins across the board.
So on stock the kit performs nicely.lets move on to overclocking.
