Test Latency (Cache & Memory Benchmark)

[tistou77]

Hello

With the latest beta, the test "latency" is very long (about 1 minute)

I do not remember, it was so long with older versions

Is this normal with Asus R4E and 3930K (X79)?

thanks

Yes, it's normal on Sandy Bridge-E and Sandy Bridge-EN/EP processors. We use a wide scanning range for the memory latency benchmark on those processors to make sure we can "hit" on the best latency score with all possible memory configurations (single-channel, dual-channel, triple-channel, quad-channel).

Thank you for your answer Fiery, with an old version of Aida, it is faster.

We'll soon completely drop all current memory benchmarks, so that issue will automatically solve itself

Ok thanks Fiery

Hi Fiery

You progress through the "new" memory benchmark or not yet started?

Will it be multi thread?

Thanks for your great work

[Fiery]

It's still under development. We wanted to roll it out before xmas, but it wasn't perfect, so we had to postpone it until it gets more mature and provide more stable results. Let's hope we can release the new memory benchmarks sometime in Q1 2013.

Thanks Fiery for this info

The new memory bandwidth benchmarks will be multi-threaded, and feature some state-of-the-art tricks as well.  They are still not ready yet, they are not mature enough.  We need to have 100% confidence in them to switch from the old (and very reliable, very mature) set of memory benchmarks.

Ok thanks Fiery
