Performance
Performance has been tested on the Intel Rocker Lake-S platform, which contains a Core i7-11700K processor, MSI Z590I Unify motherboard, ASRock RX6800 XT graphics card, Silicon Power US70 1TB NVMe SSD, and Abkoncore 850W 80+ Gold PSU.
All results have been made using the Predator Apollo RGB 16GB DDR4-3600 memory kit. All overclocking results were stable and passed multiple tests, as listed in the comparison.
As usual, we will start with the AIDA64 Memory and Cache benchmark, which is probably the best application to check memory bandwidth and latency.
正如预期的那样，AIDA64带宽结果很高。超频结果甚至更好。没有大问题，我们可以通过70GB / s。所有设置都很易于实现，而问题则在DDR4-4800以上开始。无论哪种方式，我假设即使更低的高级用户也可以有一些乐趣，并且在更加轻松但仍然快速的时间内达到至少DDR4-4600。
Latency is very low at even XMP settings. Because of the required Gear 2 mode at higher memory frequency, we are losing in access time, but it still looks good, and as you find out later, the balance between memory bandwidth and latency gives the best results in daily work or games.
In PCMark 10, the best results are at DDR4-4800, but all other settings are not far behind.
在CineBench R23中，最佳结果位于XMP配置文件。这是因为Cinebench喜欢低延迟，但CPU渲染中也更快地齿轮1模式。
3DMark系列基准在所有设置中显示出类似的结果。我们可以告诉哪一个更高或更低，但大多数更接近错误边距。DDR4-4600和DDR4-4800在这些测试中比较低的RAM频率略微更快。
VRMark used to show higher differences in our previous reviews, but in this case, we can see a 1-2FPS difference between all our settings barely. A quick conclusion can be that all settings are equally fast in virtual reality.
The same barely visible differences are in Final Fantasy XV and Superposition benchmarks. We can’t make much more to gain higher performance on these fast platforms with already fast RAM. On the other hand, users expect to buy the best possible components and play games at optimal settings without wasting time on manual tunning.
The highest FPS differences are always in benchmarks based on popular games. There are up to 4FPS gains because of overclocking, but it’s not convincing enough to spend many hours on stability tests. For sure, it’s better to play favorite games at this time. Predator Apollo shows that we don’t have to overclock our RAM to enjoy high performance in games and the XMP profile is optimal for nearly every user.
I will tell you a couple of words about overclocking the Predator Apollo DDR4-3600 RAM on the next page.
