Memtach transfers data back and forth and comes up with minimum, maximum, and average transfer rates for all kinds of things. The entire benchmark took 27.44 seconds to run. As you can see from the picture above, the following results were extracted:

Performance Test 6.1

Performance Test 6.1 shows us that the Kingston DDR3-1600 RAM running at 1375MHz gives us 567.9 operations per second, the Memory Mark result shows an average of 652.6, and a PassMark rating of 117.5.

RightMark Multi-Threaded Memory Test:

The RightMark test was run on the RAM at 1375MHz as well. All four threads were run, and the total time was recorded for making operations. As soon as each thread had run for 1 minute, I stopped the tests. The total time for all four threads was 3 minutes, 58 seconds.

During the Cache and Memory test, the Kingston DDR3-1600 kit registered 35.332 GB/sec. This did not rank well with our SiSoft test, as it is essentially based on the RAM timings against DDR2 RAM with lower timings. We used this test merely for the fact that the speed is 35.332 GB/sec.

The same rule applies to the Memory Bandwidth test. The tighter the RAM timings, the better the results. Our tests show the memory bandwidth for the DDR3-1375 RAM to be 5821MB/sec for Int buffered iSSE2, and 5791MB/sec for Float buffered iSSE2.

Finally, our Memory Latency test shows 79ns, ranking #1 in this test against the other Processor/Chipset combos.
