3DMark Tests

3DMark’s CPU Profile Max Threads test puts the DDR5 configuration top of our chart. But the differences in performance between all memory setups are small enough to call them inconsequential.

The CPU score from 3DMark’s Time Spy test, however, is far more favourable to the DDR5 set from Corsair. This time, the DDR5 performance uplift versus fast and dual-rank DDR4 kits is in the order of 5% or higher.

That’s particularly useful if you have an interest in benchmarking and obtaining higher scores.
