With four cores enabled the Phenom Ii X2 555 was able to provide betwixt 12.5GB/s and 13GB/s of memory bandwidth when testing with SiSoftware Sandra 2022, placing it within range of the Phenom II X6 1090T, non bad for a $100 processor. The Gigabyte 870A-UD3 provided the all-time results reaching 13.0GB/s making information technology a petty over half a gigabyte per 2nd faster than the Asrock 880GMH/USB 3.0 despite the fact that both motherboards used the same memory modules at the same frequency using the same timings.

Using EVEREST Ultimate Edition to measure retention bandwidth performance nosotros were surprised to find that the results were much closer to telephone call than what nosotros saw with SiSoftware Sandra. Moreover, the Gigabyte 870A-UD3 provided the weakest read operation only the best write upshot.
