Sandra 2009 Memory Bandwidth
Sisoft; Sandra 2009:
The Sisoft Sandra 2009 benchmark utility just came out recently and we have started to include it in our benchmarking. With Sandra 2009 you can now easily compare the performance of the tested device with its speed and its (published) power (TDP)! Sandra XII SP2 also has SSE4 (Intel) and SSE4A (AMD) benchmark code-paths, which is great for those of you testing next-generation AMD & Intel chips.
Results: Sandra 2009 SP2 showed that the Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 processor had roughly the same amount of bandwidth that the other processors did that were running DDR3 1333MHz memory kits with CL7 timings.
