Memory Benchmarks

AIDA64

Testing the 32GB kit of Lexar's ARES RGB 6400MT/s with the AIDA64 memory benchmark produced a read figure of 59,087MB/s placing the kit just behind G.Skill's Trident Z5 RGB 7200MT/s in sixth place.

At 76.2n/s, Lexar's ARES RGB 32GB kit is the second slowest 6400MT/s memory we've seen to date using the AIDA64 benchmarks and the AMD test platform.
