thank you, but you do not need to change anything as your results show exactly what I have said. RAM copy speed is better at my setup, read write is similar, and latency is much worse.
your L3 speeds are also better. is this due to your cpu have 2mb more of L3 cache, or Haswell/Devil have anyway higher L3 speeds than 5775C (no matter the cache size). I don't know what exactly determine that speed. if you know more about it, please tell me.
yes latency of your RAM is roughly equivalent to eDRAM on my chip, but as I already told, that latency vary between low 40 and 55ns. is this due to some benchmark problem or it really vary, don't know.
take a look at link I provided from Techpowerup forum, on page 25, there is 4790K with DDR 2800Mhz 11-13-13-31-T1. it have as expected, better speeds and latency (very low, under 40) compared to your setup. but using very fast RAM, I fear, will limit overclock potential.
I see also guys with Skylake with very fast DDR4, have very good RAM results. read speed is little lower or similar like eDRAM, write is much better, copy is similar od little better.
eDRAM still make sense if latency is about 40ns, but if it vary to 55ns than it make no sense, if you ask me
I have here on paper results of some testings, so I will write everything I have at 4.3 speed, to compare to your 4770K.
at 4.3 core speed, it make CPU-Z single core result 2082, and average result of multi core 8570. Uncore ratio don't seem to affect CPU-Z results.
at 4.3 core / 3.3 uncore - Cinebench C15 - average 904
at 4.3 core / 4.0 uncore - Cinebench C15 - average 918 (take into account, as I have said before, Uncore ratio affect L4 speed much).
Passmark 8 test results with 4.3 core / 4.0 uncore :
12521 overall (results below are best scored, so it maybe does not match perfectly with overall score, because I made more than one tests)
20880 integer
9152 floating point math
54.2 prime
59 SSE
16202 compression
2297 encryption
903 physics
9401 sorting
2484 single core
prime and physics are very affected by Uncore ratio, others are mostly affected by raw Core speed. so probably this 5775C have better prime and physics scores compared to other processors, because of L4 presence.
I downclocked my cache to 4.0 and changed my memory timings so this should be as close as we're gonna get:
4.3 core/4.0 cache DDR3 2400 10-12-12-30
Cinebench R15:
883
Passmark:
12127 Overall
20998 Integer
9173 Floating Point
41.6 Prime Numbers
58.9 Extended Instructions
16125 Compression
2260 Encryption
772 Physics
9353 Sorting
2587 Single Threaded
These are from a single test, however. If I had more time to run multiples and post best-of scores I would, maybe this weekend.
Interesting, it would be fun to see a Broadwell chip without eDRAM compared to both of these to see if the improvements in prime numbers and physics are due to the slight architecture change or if they are from the benefit of the eDRAM itself. Interesting that there are some scores that were higher on my 4770K, probably due to the increased ram performance I would think.
