Intel Core i7 Nehalem 965 XE 3.2GHz review

Page 10 - Performance: Memory (Everest Ultimate 4.60)

Everest Ultimate

After all that talk about the integrated memory controller and the tree channel capability, we must take a closer look at how things actually will turn out:

Blimey! Delay of answer in communication with memory is nearly twice lower with Nehalem! Read, write and copy speed with the 3 memory sticks with Core i7 965 XE vary between 2 and 3 times high compares to the ones with dual or quad Core 2 processor using memory at the same frequency and timings. With the ever increasing software demands to the memory, this could prove to be extremely big advantage, not to mention the faster responding system resulting from it.
