preface:
It is said that during the Sengoku period in Japan, the daimyō (lord) was willing to exchange the same weight of gold for pepper as a necessary material for the winter soldiers' march.
Similarly, in the era of material, technological, and information asymmetry, it is easiest to be strangled by the outside because of monopoly. I believe that the DIY players and ordinary computer users of the 7080 have tried the problem of memory inflation several times, which is essentially because the memory particles cannot be produced independently.
Now domestic chip research and development and manufacturing has more and more finished products appear in the market, of which the most common on the market is the use of Changxin storage memory products.
Unboxing:
Recently, the small child wants to install the machine, and I recommend him to choose the latest 12th generation Core platform. The 12th generation of Core is not only the introduction of a new architecture of size cores, but also the IPC (comprehensive performance per frequency) is 19% higher than the previous generation, which is suitable for both gamers and designers, video creators, and 3D rendering.
Taking into account the needs and budget, the Z690 chipset and DDR5 are not just needed, and the i5 12600 with B660 chipset motherboard + DDR4 memory is more pragmatic.
The motherboard I use is gigabyte B660M-D4 snow sculpture, the specific model is B660M AORUS PRO AX DDR4. The motherboard also has a sister version of the DDR5; Gigabyte also has a B660M without AX, with a black heatsink called a small eagle; and an entry-level magic eagle.
GIGABYTE B660M-D4 Snow Sculpture adopts 12+1+1 power phase, and is equipped with WiFi6 wireless network card and 2.5 high-speed network, which belongs to the high-end version of the B660 chipset motherboard, which can fully meet the requirements of the 12th generation Core i7 and above processors.
Remember that before 2000, most people would directly choose the general strip marked with the HY brand. In fact, most of the HY strips are not Hynix's own, but many small workshop things. Subsequently, the Taiwan system has successively entered the installed capacity market. In the past decade, the memory of domestic brands has appeared, which has also given us a lot of choices.
I chose the domestic product Jinbaida this time, although it is only the entry-level DDR4 2666 memory, using original granules, with a lifetime warranty, which is a proper hard dish.
The Kimbayd DDR4 2666 uses the most conventional heatsink-free design, which is more than enough for users with non-high-frequency memory and non-long-term data reading and writing. Moreover, there is no heat sink, which can avoid a lot of embarrassing things for some players who like to toss small chassis or large air-cooled heat dissipation.
The use of black PCB, the appearance is very simple. But for most users, it's enough.
Although the positioning is entry-level, the craftsmanship is still good, the components are orderly, and the PCB routing is simple and efficient.
The single 8GB capacity of the content I have in my hand, 8 particles are all on the front, which is a typical single-sided memory.
Although DDR5 has been launched, considering that the mainstream platform still uses DDR4, and this type of cost-effective memory, the audience of the installed market is still very broad.
It is not the first time to install the machine with Jinbaida's memory, and it is not the first time to contact Jinbaida's products. Before using Jinbaida's memory, the 10th generation Core and 11th generation Core machines were installed, and they ran very well on the B460 and B560 platforms. The B560, in particular, can easily exceed 3333.
However, I still feel that Jinbaida's packaging cannot be understood, and there is no printing memory timing in both the outer packaging and the internal stickers. In fact, its default timing is 19-19-19-43, which belongs to the decent type.
However, the small complaint did not affect my impression of Jinbaida. The most attractive thing about me about the DDR4 2666 is the particles used. In the past, the most common is Hynix's, some overclocking bars are three-star, a small number of low-end use of South Asia, and a duanyu six-vein excalibur, the same as the Time Spirit Erbiden (the same batch, good super, not super super a toss on the blue screen, whether it is memory or memory).
Jinbaida DDR4 2666 uses Changxin stored particles, pure chinese chips.
XMT is the logo of Changxin Storage, I believe that in the future, more domestic chips will enter our host and digital products.
Test:
The configuration is as follows:
CPU：i9 12900k
Heat sink: Overclocked 3GI-CX360 ARGB
Motherboard: GIGABYTE B660M AORUS PRO AX DDR4 Snow Sculpture
Memory: Jinbaida DDR4 2666 8GBX2
SSD: HP FX900 pro 2TB
Graphics: GIGABYTE RTX3080 Eagle
Power supply: Haiyun rated 850W gold medal
Basically lit up at one point, by the way, the memory was a little overtaken, and finally all the tests were successfully completed below the DDR4 2933 frequency.
1. Super PI single-core single-threaded floating-point performance test
In the single-core single-threaded test, the SUPER pi one million bit test took only 7.015 seconds, almost rushing to the 6-second mark.
2. CPU multi-core multi-thread test
CPUZ multi-core multi-threaded score of 11476 points, single-core single-threaded 809 points, 8 large cores 8 small cores i9 12900k performance is really powerful.
3. Cinbebch series professional performance test
Cinbench series professional performance test, R15, R20, R23 multi-core multi-thread score of 4070, 10281, 27241 points, it can be said that such performance can definitely meet the needs of professional rendering.
4. X264 behcnmark video transcoding performance test
X264 video transcoding test 103.8 frames, do video efficiency is good to say. Of course, I also used Jinbaida's memory to run PR to edit videos, but due to the inability to form a benchmark, I did not send it.
5. AIDA64 memory performance test
In terms of memory testing, the continuous write speed reached 47190MB/s, and it seems that even the mainstream DDR4 is enough to meet the 12th generation Core processor.
summary:
Underneath the latest B660 chipset motherboard, the 12th Generation Core platform, the Kimbudst DDR4 2666 memory performs well. Not only is it compatible and stable, but it can also be a little super.
In fact, Jinbaida DDR4 2666 is designed with XMP, which can directly adjust the memory to the frequency of 3200, which can be achieved on the B560 motherboard, but the new B660 is limited by the BIOS is too new, and the stability is general.
Overall, the Gimbard DDR4 2666 for the installed market performs remarkably well, compared to the memory in the same price segment. Moreover, it is also a chip made in China, and its compatibility and stability are the same as those of international manufacturers, and I believe that in the future, everyone will no longer be afraid of various paragraphs of foreign manufacturers.
