Leaderboards are located at the bottom of this post - *Updated 3/14 4:00am*
I thought it would be cool to get a "pulse" on some of the newer systems and see how modern platforms perform in terms of memory latency. We can compare and contrast to older generations as well (DDR3 vs DDR4 vs dual channel vs quad-channel, etc). So this is more of a fact-finding mission turned latency competition. And by all means, if you have an old system you are more than welcome to use it, as the more data we have, the better. Matter of fact, I will start this off with my Old Phenom II system. You can follow this basic outline with your submission:
**************************************************************
CPU..........................AMD Phenom II X6 1600T @ 3.8Ghz
COOLING................Fractal Designs S36 360mm AIO
MEMORY.................8GB (4GB x 2) Corsair XMS3 CMX4GX3M1A1600C7
MOTHERBOARD…..Biostar A880GZ
***************************************************************
Basic ground rules:
*AIDA64 Extreme or Engineer Edition (They use the same benchmark engine)
*Multiple submissions are allowed
*Laptops are allowed
*Old school rigs are allowed (please note on your sub if competing for the Red Lantern Award)
Instructions for running the benchmark (Go to tools, then select Cache and Memory Benchmark):
Then take a snip of your result and post it here.
There are multiple facets to this competition and one main objective:
*Memory Latency Champion:*
The overall win goes to the rig with the lowest possible memory latency result. Open to all systems, absolutely zero restrictions here.
*Points Competition:*
In cycling, the green Jersey represents the winner or current leader in the points classification.
So we will transfuse this idea into our benchmark competition here. Hence the term "green jersey"
The Green Jersey will be awarded to the rig that dominates the competition across multiple categories. It will be calculated based on an average of your latency results: (Memory + L1 + L2 + L3 / 4). The rig with the lowest avg latency average wins.
*Combativity Award*
The combativity award is a prize given to a participant for the most combative overclocker overall.
*Red Lantern Award*
Self-explanatory. System with the highest possible latency. (a slug)
*We will use your single BEST result PER rig* That means you can benchmark multiple rigs
If two users are tied for first place, we will go to a sudden-death elimination round using an average of your r/w/c scores. The system with the highest bandwidth wins out. In no other cases are we looking for your read/write/copy speeds---but it should be fine for just the elimination round - if needed at all.
The overall winner will receive an AMD 965 Black Edition (RB-C3 Deneb core) CPU that overclocks to 4.1GHz (If you want it)
