Intressant om Skylake, riktigt snabb DDR4 och prestandaökningar
Techspot: DDR4 Memory at 4000 MT/s, Does It Make a Difference?
Har länge och ofta hört att snabbt ram inte påverkar någonting märkbart, så är längre inte fallet...
"The Adobe Photoshop CC results are shocking to say the least. Here we see that the DDR4-4000 memory allowed the overclocked Core i7-6700K processor to complete the workload 54% faster! When compared to the DDR4-3000 memory we still saw a massive 31% increase in performance."
"Finally, we have HandBrake for what is another sock blowing moment. Here the DDR4-4000 memory provided a 57% performance boost over DDR4-2133 and 43% over DDR4-2400. Even the 441fps rendered on average when using the DDR4-3000 was made to look slow, as the 4000 MT/s memory reached 540fps making it 22% faster."
"On a high-end gaming system equipped with two GeForce GTX 980 Ti cards, ARMA 3 sees a 10% increase in minimum frame rates when going from DDR4-3000 to 4000, which is surprising. DDR4-4000 even provides a noteworthy increase over 3600MT/s memory, it would be interesting to find what'd be the limit here."
"Finally, we looked at memory performance in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and found some interesting results. Although the minimum frame rate from DDR4-3000 to 4000 went almost unchanged, we did see a 7% increase in the average frame rate."
"Fallout 4 is a unique animal and you won’t see many, if any games, that scale quite how it does. Although DDR4-4000 wasn’t a huge step forward over the 3600MT/s memory, it was a whopping great step from 3000MT/s delivering a 19% greater minimum frame rate."
"CoD Black Ops 3 sees a more minuscule 4% boost in minimum frame rates, when going from DDR4-3000 to 4000, though interestingly the average frame rate is increased by 7% at 156fps."
Notera att jag valt de fall där prestandaökningen är noterbar, artikeln nämner även fall där den är försumbar, samt att detta är med 980ti SLI. Ett singel kort var inte starkt nog att utnyttjat den extra processorkraften den utökade minnesbandbredden gav.
Kanske mer intressant dock för dem som sitter med tunga PS projekt och video redigering.
