High Performance Results

We arrived at the stage where it all comes down to. The Team Group Xtreem PC-4000 Cronus Edition memory has been designed to be used at 250MHz FSB, so we are going to use these ram sticks and start to overclock our Intel P4 3.0GHz Prescott processor and see how well these perform. We once again let the mainboard BIOS take care of selecting the default memory timings. By doing so the latency has reported as 3-4-4-8 at 250MHz FSB and our CPU is running well overclocked at 3.75GHz! We will check how the Xtreem Edition memory will do on our benchmarks...

Float Copy Results

Having set the bus speed at 250MHz the Xtreem Edition memory is now running at 500MHz DDR, the clock rate they have been designed for. This results in an awesome performance level of around 3124MB/s on the Float Copy results. This is certainly again a nice increase over the enhanced performance we have seen so far with an increase of about 575MB/s. Impressive to say the least...

Float Scale Results

Also on the next results for the Float Scale part we see a tremendous increase of performance up to 3187MB/s on average which is an increase of about 580MB/s. We can clearly understand why the memory timings are playing a big role on the performance levels of the DDR memory; the lower the latencies will mean better responsiveness and better performance in the end. That is where Team Group does deliver top performance, with excellent bandwidth throughput as result.

Float Add Results

Next are the Float Add results for the Xtreem Edition DDR500 dual channel kit which shows off an average of 3286MB/s. Here we see a similar spectacular increase of 455MB/s, and more important the peak going up to 3729MB/s. Also the minimum and maximum results are a bit less tight and have some room for improvement, but you won't hear us complain. Top performance no matter what!

Float Triad Results

And to end it all we have the Float Triad results which show as well an improvement and clocks an average of 3289MB/s with a comparable increase as we are getting used to of about 455MB/s. Once again the Team Group Xtreem PC-4000 Cronus Edition memory has proven to be damn fast and stable, with excellent bandwidth throughput as result. With the maximum reaching almost 3800MB/s, which clearly indicates that this memory has got what it takes.

The Team Group Xtreem PC-4000 Cronus Edition has it all, they did put down an excellent score at a bus speed of 200MHz with the ability of tighter memory latency and on top of that when they are used at the speed they are rated for they outperform all that. With these DDR500 ram sticks you get nothing less than the best performance in both environments, either at 200MHz or at 250MHz FSB this memory just has it all. Top notch performance in all circumstances!
