Testing (continued):
The first test executed was
Lavalys Everest Ultimate Edition 4.20. Four sets of results are provided, including memory read speed (in MB/s), memory write speed (in MB/s), memory copy speed (in MB/s), and memory latency (in ns). Higher values are better for memory read, write, and copy speeds, while lower values are better for latency.
The data above shows that the kits perform about the same, but that the Kingston kit squeaks out a victory in every test at every speed. In many cases we are talking about a difference of about 0.5% to 1%, so I wouldn't be too upset about coming in second place in such a competition.
PassMark Performance Test v6.1 offers a whole suite of benchmarks which can analyze just about all system components. The composite "Memory Mark" value was used for this review as an overall indication of the performance of the installed memory kits. Higher numbers are better for this unitless value.
The two kits put up nearly identical numbers, but this time the tables are turned and the Aeneon kit beats the Kingston kit by a trivial 0.05% to 1.45%.
