Benchmarks: ScienceMark, HEXUS.pifast and Cryptography
Memory and single-threaded tests
Kicking off the testing proceedings, we have ScienceMark, Pifast and HEXUS Cryptography.
4.5GB/s from the RS482-M isn't bad. We'll leave commentary on the similar performance against the DDR2 on the RS485M-M to its own review...
It's not surprising to see lower latency for DDR over DDR2. However, increased clock speeds of DDR2 go a long way towards compensating for that now.
The HEXUS.pifast time shows the 2.2GHz CPU calculating pi to 10 million places in about the right time; its performance not being particularly hindered anywhere, we don't think.
Socket 939 or AM2? Doesn't matter for our Cryptography benchmark.
