TESTA A desktop orientated measure of RAM speed that favours bandwidth over latency.
Real world performance scales reasonably well with memory frequency (data throughput). The more GB of data that can be transferred per second the better. If two sets of memory have the same bandwidth (GB/s) then the better performing kit will have lower latency. Lower latency allows faster retrieval of individual blocks of data which can allow some computations to complete faster. The effective RAM speed index is weighted as 80% multi-core throughput, 10% single-core throughput and 10% latency. Dual channel RAM running at 3000 MHz on a skylake chip ≈ 100%. See a current list of RAM Kits and their effective speeds here.
