Memory (DRAM) performance is all about the relationship between speed and latency. While the two are closely related, they’re not connected in the way you might think. Here’s how speed and latency are related at a technical level – and how you can use this information to optimize your memory’s performance.
Key Takeaways:
- Ever wonder what the heck CAS Timings were? Well they’re more important than you think.
- Easy to understand hack: higher cl means less performance, to simplify the math just divide mhz with cl and the result is your performance score, where higher score means faster ram.
- Honestly, I don’t try to waste too much money on RAM, all this micro timing stuff doesn’t affect real world performance in any meaningful way for 99% of people, just buy some decent name-brand RAM with a lifetime warranty that’s compatible with your CPU and motherboard and you’re good.
