G.Skill DDR3 PC3-16000 Triple Channel Memory Review

It’s time to say “Gee” and show you some “Skills” today. Hey everybody and welcome to a new memory review here on Guru3D.com

When Intel released core i7, they introduced along with it an exquisite memory controller. It’s really hard for anyone to ignore the tremendous amount of memory bandwidth we have available, thanks to the point to point technology embedded in that processor, in turn letting go of that bottleneck of a FSB. It’s really exciting stuff, and also why you have seen several DDR3 memory reviews here on Guru3D.com

See, with Core i7 things changed so much. There’s much less overhead to deal with, there’s plenty of bandwidth for the memory controllers and DDR3 memory finally can be utilized to it’s full potential. Ever since our first Core i7 review we where flabbergasted by the memory bandwidth thrown at us. Whether you run that memory at 1066, 1333, 1600 or even 1800 MHz and higher you will be impressed. There however is a a big gray area and to seek the true benefit of high frequency low voltage memory which is more expensive opposed to say more regular DDR3 memory at 1333 MHz. Todat we’ll do exactly that. We see the difference between DDR3 memory at 1333 MHz and 2000+ MHz frequencies.
