CPU Tests
But the quad-channel memory architecture of the X99 platform isn't overly reliant on a surfeit of bandwidth. Crucial's modules are marginally slower than the 3,000MHz-plus G.Skill.
Memory operating 42 per cent faster (G.Skill) produces a Cinebench score that is just over two per cent faster. Draw your own conclusions from that.
Video encoding also exhibits modest performance increases as memory frequency is scaled.
