Cinebench R15

We used the ‘CPU’ test built into Cinebench R15 to measure the effect that system memory has on computational performance.

Super Pi 32M

We used the '32M' test in Super Pi to analyse the effect that system memory has on single-threaded performance.

Handbrake Conversion

We measured the average frame rate achieved for a task of converting a 4.36GB 720P H.264 movie (in the MKV container) to one in the MP4 container.

While the 600MHz frequency deficit of ADATA's memory kit leaves it trailing the performance of G.Skill's 3GHz sticks, the differences are far smaller than the speed variations.

Super Pi and Cinebench show performance benefits with faster memory (albeit at small levels), however Handbrake gains almost no performance from a 600MHz speed difference between the kits.
