Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Memory Kit Review

SiSoft Sandra 2011b

A year ago, SiSoftware released Sandra 2010 with full support for Windows 7; in the 18 months since the launch of Windows 7, more than ever before we have seen the line blur between PC and entertainment hubs. Two months ago we released a Blu-Ray benchmark, now we have added a brand-new Media Transcoding benchmark using the new Media Foundation of Windows 7. We have also added yet another benchmark (GPGPU Cryptography) which allows direct comparison of CPU performance (using crypto instruction sets) and GPGPU performance.

The Corsair Vengeance memory kit is showing just how well memory bandwidth scales on Sandy Bridge. We see a nice stepping as the speed increases, really regardless of the timings used.
