OCZ Blade DDR3 PC3-16000 6GB Kit
SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility capable of benchmarking the performance of individual components inside a PC. Each of the benchmarks below were run a total of five times with the highest and lowest scores being discarded and an average being calculated from the remaining three.
Focusing mainly on software and hardware information reporting, Everest also comes with a benchmark utility suitable for testing the read, write and latency performance of the memory subsystem. Each of these benchmarks were performed a total of 5 times with the highest and lowest scores being discarded and an average calculated from the remaining 3.
SuperPI is the benchmark of choice for many overclockers. It’s lightweight to download and can give a quick indication on how good a system is at number crunching. Once again, testing was performed a total of 5 times, with an average being calculated from the middle three results.
Results Observations
From the results above, it’s plain to see which is the superior kit. In almost every test run, the OCZ Blade easily beat all of the other kits on test. A whopping 33GB/s bandwidth should be enough for even the hungriest of applications and when coupled to some very good latency timings, should prove this kit to be the no1 choice for memory performance.
Let’s move on to the 3D benchmarks…
