![]() ![]() Quad-channel is fun stuff, crazy numbers is what you'll see. ![]() That's fast enough to drive a mid-range graphics card ported through system memory fairly well, well if we exclude latency of course. At launch for IBE quad-channel 1866 MHz low-voltage DDR3 is supported out of the box, and that means an increase from 29.9 GB/s to 59.7 GB/s of available memory bandwidth. Sandy & Ivy Bridge and its dual-channel controller hauls ass, make no mistake there. Regardless of what you think about it, progress is obviously always a good thing.Īdmittedly, the Intel memory controller, whatever platform you choose, is excellent. Intel's 64-bit memory controllers rock hard and a lot certainly happened. Over the space of four years we went from dual-channel towards triple-channel on X58 (Gulftown), then back to dual-channel with the Sandy/Ivy Bridge and Haswell architecture and with Sandy Bridge-E and Ivy Bridge-E we get quad-channel memory support. But with triple-channel performance as good as it is on X58 it was remained thinking. Back in 2008 we already reported that the initial Nehalem architecture was quad-channel ready, they just had never implemented it. One of the more hip features of the X79 / SBE and IBE platform is quad-channel memory. ![]()
