AMD's dual-channel memory speed world record has been broken
The Corsair team managed to make a record decision with the new GTX4 memories.
The Corsair tuning team is always trying to test the latest hardware to make sure it is compatible and performing. While testing AMD's new six-core processor, it was discovered that they could achieve higher memory speeds than on the previous AMD platform, as only a few tuning champions managed to cross the 4 MHz clock value with the Phenom II X2000 CPU codenamed Deneb.
The team was curious to see how long they could chase the MHz in the company of the new Thuban processor. The AMD Phenom II X6 1090T CPU, paired with Corsair Dominator GTX4 memories in an ASUS Crosshair IV Formula motherboard, has easily reached 2000 MHz. After a good few hours of trying delays, voltage values and different frequencies, then a new world record was set: 2287,6 MHz, with a delay of 9. The settings were also tested with two other processors, but there “only” 2271,6 MHz. So it seems that the limit of the memory controller of the new central unit has been reached.
At 2287,6 MHz, the SuperPi reported a 1M error during the last iteration. At 2271,6 MHz, however, it ran smoothly in 18,486 seconds.
