This setup required a Threadripper Pro 9985WX, a powerful AMD CPU featuring 64 cores and 128 threads, maximizing all memory channels for the test. While the average enthusiast might be skeptical about such records due to their niche nature, Phantom’s achievement showcases the capabilities of RDIMMs, which unlike typical UDIMMs, maintain stability even at high speeds.
Specifications
- Processor Used: Threadripper Pro 9985WX
- Memory Configuration: 256 GB (8 x 32 GB RDIMMs)
- Achieved Speed: 8,400 MT/s
- Latency Timings: 38-50-50-62
This achievement far surpasses standard expectations, proving that there are still boundaries to be broken in the tech world of RAM speed. As enthusiasts look forward to future developments, the significance of this milestone cannot be understated.
