AIDA64 Memory Performance

Let’s now look at some memory-related performance for this platform with 8-channel, 3200MHz RAM.

Wow!

Even despite a sizable frequency disadvantage versus DDR5-based mainstream platforms that are using 6000MHz kits, the memory bandwidth numbers output by Threadripper Pro are fantastic.

It is clear to see that eight-channel memory running at solid frequencies of 3200MHz DDR4 is an excellent solution for memory-bandwidth intensive workloads.

Memory bandwidth capacity is clearly one of the star factors for Threadripper Pro.

Latency isn’t all that bad, either. Particularly since we are using 3200MHz C16 DIMMs, as opposed to the dual-rank 3600MHz C16 modules used for other DDR5 platforms.

And we won’t see weird memory latency behaviour that we saw with early Threadripper models, either; each core gets better access to the memory controller on the central IO die.

And here are some Cache and Memory Latency and Bandwidth scores from SiSoft Sandra for reference.
