Benchmark Reviews users synthetic benchmarks to more effectively show difference between the hardware being tested. These tests are very sensitive to the most minor changes and therefore can highlight the performance difference that exist between different sets of RAM.
AIDA64 provides a memory benchmarking tool that scales well with speed but unfortunately does not respond nearly as well to tightening timings. Because of this the Redline 2133Mhz kit skyrockets ahead of the competition with a read speed of 23963.5MB/s. This is 18% higher than our 1600Mhz 9-9-9-24 kit which benchmarked at 19668MB/s, and 10% faster than our 1866Mhz 9-10-9-28 which came in at 21746.5MB/s.
One of our newest benchmarking applications MaxxMEM2 provides results that are more responsive to speed changes rather than tightening of timings. At 24601MB/s Mushkin Enhanced's Redline 2133Mhz kit performance 18.3% better than our 1600Mhz 9-9-9-24 kit which could only muster 20116MB/s of bandwidth at the read benchmark.
Using STREAM SiSoft's Sandra provides a near linear performance increase as the speed of RAM increases. At 27.465GB/s the Redline 2133Mhz kit blows away the competition with a 24.5% increase in bandwidth compared to our 1600Mhz 9-9-9-24 kit and 13% more bandwidth compared to our 1866Mhz 9-10-9-28 kit.
