Test on the Intel configuration:
Of course, this kit will only be tested on an Intel platform but not here as usual in Z690 but in Z790. We will quickly test the kit on an AMD motherboard even if we have little hope to be able to start it with a frequency of 7000 MT/s.
- Motherboard: ROG Maximus Z790 APEX
- Processor: Intel i9-13900KS Alder Lake
- Memory : 48 GB Corsair Vengeance RGB 7000 MT/s CL40
- Graphics Card: MSI GT 710
- Cooling system : Optimus Foundation + 480 mm EK radiator
- SSD: Western Digital SN850 NVMe SSD M.2
- Power supply : be quiet! Dark Power PRO 12 1500w
- Operating system : Windows 10 64 bits
We had to update our BIOS so that this new memory capacity is well taken into account. So we switched to the latest version, the 1002 which dates from April.
As we said, it is difficult for this test to compare the performance obtained with our 13900KS on the Z790 chipset and our usual Z690 configuration with the 12900K. In order not to be too late in publishing this test, we have done a first set of tests and as soon as a BIOS compatible with the Z690 is available, we will add the performance of this kit against the competition.
Aida 64:
This is a program that can provide you with a lot of information about your configuration, but above all it has the particularity of having a memory benchmark. It will calculate the speed of reading, writing, copying and the latency of your memory kit. It is very often used to compare memory kits between them. It is an excellent tool if you want to compare the performance of your memory kit with those we have already had the opportunity to test.
The version used for the tests is 6.50.2812 beta and we have taken the performance of the previously tested kits.
Here are the results we obtained under AIDA64. If we follow the performance of our last tests, we are on the equivalent score of a 2 x 16 GB kit in 6600 CL34. Despite a higher frequency for our Corsair kit, the more relaxed timings have a negative impact on the throughput. As far as the writing and copying speed is concerned, we are also close to the performance of the 6600 CL34 kit. On the other hand, bad surprise for the latency which is only 69.3 n/s when that of the 6600 CL34 kit is 58.8 n/s.
Geekbench 3.4.4:
This is a benchmark available in several revisions, version 5 having just been released a few weeks ago. It allows you to obtain two scores: one in single and the other in multi. Using this benchmark, we will focus on the performance obtained on the ” Memory Multi-Core ” score which allows to differentiate the memory performance.
The version used for the tests is 3.4.4.
Here, it is impossible to compare the scores since our 13900KS is more efficient than our 12900K. We can still judge the memory score which is 10574 points. Still comparing with the performance of our last tests, we are below the result of a 6400 MT/s CL40 kit.
Geekbench 5.2.5:
We decided to add this extra benchmark but why? The CPU benchmark uses new tests that more accurately simulate the tasks that processors face in recent applications. Geekbench 5 also increases the memory used in the benchmark to better reflect the impact of this parameter in the CPU results. For now, we will keep both since version 3 is still widely used.
Last test of our usual protocol with unfortunately incomparable scores since the performances of our two CPUs are too different.
