Compute and Productivity Tests
7-Zip compression performance absolutely flies with the dual-rank G.SKILL kit running at 3800MHz C18. Even a reduced CPU memory controller clock, the 4GHz performance is still strong. Focusing on decompression, the 4GHz set enjoys a chart-topping result here, beating out Corsair’s fast 3600MHz kits in our data set.
Blender is very CPU heavy and shows basically no performance difference between these high-speed kits of memory. Similar can be said for Cinebench R20 nT, though G.SKILL does manage impressive first and third place finishes.
