Sandra Memory Bandwidth
AIDA64 Memory Latency
Memory bandwidth for Crucial's 2400MHz CL16 Ballistix Sport kit is slightly behind that of G.Skill's tighter Ripjaws4 set running at the same speed. Looser timings put clear daylight between the Crucial kit and G.Skill's CL15 competitor in the memory latency test.
The dual-sided, higher density nature of 8GB DIMMs provides a win for the 32GB Crucial kit over a 16GB 2400MHz competitor in terms of overall memory bandwidth.
The fact that DDR4 offers no tangible system performance increase over DDR3 with real applications is a good reason to not get suckered into buying empty promises with DDR4 which is intended for servers.
