preface
Recently, DIY players really seem to be over the New Year, solid-state cabbage prices, even the previously expensive DDR5 memory, but also mushrooming trend, not only the price of ordinary frequency memory has dropped significantly, even some DDR5 memory equipped with high-end overclocking particles has gradually become popular.
Then this opportunity, I must buy a good performance DDR5 to improve my hardware performance. We have tested the memory of Kingtech Speedtiger T4 DDR5-6000MHz before, this time Kingtech took advantage of the victory to launch a more top-of-the-line frequency - DDR5-6400MHz, and it is said that this memory uses the legendary overclocking particles, Hynix A-Die, the performance is exciting, let's see how this memory performs?
Out-of-memory viewing
Kingtech Speedtiger T4 DDR5-6400MHz memory adopts a single box packaging design, the outer packaging is based on metal gray, on the packaging box, Kingtech "Tiger" logo with reflective Logo presented, and in the packaging added light white "Kimtigo" Logo words, full of Jintec words, you can see when you get started, brand recognition is full!
The back of the box is marked with the product name Jintek Speedtiger T4, the single capacity is 16GB, the double can form a 32GB dual channel, the frequency is 6400MHz, the specification is DDR5, this configuration is enough for the vast majority of players, not only can play smoothly, but also more than enough to cope with some high-load work.
Lift the lid and the SpeedTiger T4 DDR5-6400MHz memory is in the sponge, and even the memory module has a membrane cover protection to ensure that the memory is safely delivered to your hand. I have to say that this packaging, compared to other brands, is attractive and much more advanced.
The Speedtiger T4 DDR5-6400MHz memory comes in two colors, and this time we received an onyx red color. The crimson exterior with the metallic vest is as enthusiastic as fire, bringing a lot of vitality to the black motherboard. If you choose to mix agate red with metallic gray, the installation effect should have a special flavor.
Speedtiger T4 DDR5-6400MHz memory adopts a conventional heat dissipation vest + memory module design, the aluminum vest shell is already quite sharp, and the mirror design is also used in the middle, reflecting the flashing "T4" word, showing the metallic texture. The two sides of the vest are designed with multi-track racing channels, square and angular, bringing a strong visual impact, just like a new mecha, showing the fierceness of T4.
It is not enough to have a heavy heat dissipation vest, Kingtech has also stuffed a lot of heat dissipation measures in the position you can't see, through the heat dissipation vest in the gap of the PCB substrate can be seen inside the thermal conductive silicone for heat conduction, the heat generated when the chip works is conducted to the heat dissipation vest through the heat dissipation pad, which can reduce the surface temperature by more than 10% and ensure the stable operation of the memory.
However, DDR5 and DDR4 are still different, you look at the gold finger of the DDR5 memory of Kingtech Speedtiger T4 DDR5 memory, although it is a familiar 288 pins, but the position of the anti-fool notch is different, DDR5 memory will be more middle, so the two are physically incompatible with each other, you must pay attention when buying a motherboard.
There is also a nameplate sticker on the back of the memory sticker, here is a lot more information than on the box, you can see the specific model of memory, we got two 16GB memory, composed of 32GB dual channel, frequency of 6400MHz, belongs to the mainstream level of DDR5 memory products.
Of course, the working voltage of these two DDR5 memories is also reduced to 1.1V, the energy consumption is lower than that of DDR4 memory, and the On-die ECC error correction function is added, which is conducive to increasing the stability of memory operation and overclocking is more stable.
Introduction to the test platform
The test platform we use the treasure of the current evaluation room, the processor is i9-13900KS, the motherboard is ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO, and the graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, which can fully exploit the potential of Kingtech Speedtiger T4 DDR5-6400MHz memory.
Before testing, we first go to the motherboard BIOS to check the information of Kingtech Speedtiger T4 DDR5-6400MHz, the manufacturer is Kimtigo, the particle manufacturer is SK Hynix, which supports Intel's latest XMP 3.0 technology, and the PMIC manufacturer is Richtek.
At the same time, turn on the XMP function, which can make this memory run under good performance at this time.
Theoretical performance testing
The old way, after we get on the machine, we still use the software to check the memory information, you can see that the CPU-Z clearly marked this Jintek Speedtiger T4 DDR5-6400MHz memory particles come from Hannix, the working voltage is 1.1V, the working voltage is 1.35V after turning on XMP, and it supports high-performance low timing from one-click XMP to DDR5-6400MHz C32.
The relevant information can also be seen from CPU-Z, but it is recognized as four channels in the number of channels, which is mainly DDR5 memory to divide the 64-bit data bandwidth into two 32-bit addressable channels, so as to achieve the so-called single support double DIMM effect. Although the number of channels has doubled, the number of memory modules has not increased, so DDR5 still needs to insert 2 full dual channels in the true sense.
The most intuitive is to look at the compression and decompression of data, using 7-Zip to test the Kingtech Speedtiger T4 DDR5-6400MHz memory, at the standard 4800MHz frequency, the compression test score is 148.06 GIPS, the decompression test score is 216.84 GIPS, and the overall test score is 182.45 GIPS. After a small increase to 5600MHz, the compression performance is improved by 8% from 4800MHz. If you turn on XMP, you will find that the score can be further increased to 187.03 GIPS compressed and 221.75 GIPS decompressed, with a total score of 204.39 GIPS, which is a significant increase.
Of course, the memory frequency is mainly reflected in the memory bandwidth, in the AIDA64 memory benchmark, we first tested the standard starting frequency of DDR5 4800MHz, Kingtech Speedtiger T4 DDR5-6400MHz memory at 4800MHz read, write, copy and delay scores of 74565 MB/s, 68382 MB/s, 68426 MB/s and 89.5 ns. The overall performance is higher than that of DDR4-level memory. At 5600MHz, the latency is slightly reduced, while the read, write, copy and other performance is between 76000-86000MB/s, which is exactly 10000MB/s higher than 4800MHz.
If you increase the frequency to XMP-6400MHz, combined with the ultra-low timing of the C32, the results are really outrageous, at this time reading 100404 MB/s, writing 86902 MB/s, copying 90044 MB/s, and the latency is only 68.4 ns. Directly approaching 100GB/s, it can be said that this performance has surpassed many high-frequency DDR5 memory.
Game performance testing
For gamers, the most important thing is the impact of memory frequency on the game frame rate. We have also selected a variety of games for actual testing, from typical triple-A masterpieces to popular online games, there is always a suitable one for you.
Looking at Horizon 5 first, running the benchmark of Horizon 5 at a standard starting frequency of 4800MHz, the average frame rate of the game is measured at 206 FPS, the CPU rendering is 199 FPS, and the CPU simulation is 324 FPS. At 5600MHz, the simulation of the CPU is about 9% higher than the rendering of 4800MHz. When you turn on XMP and the frequency is increased to 6000MHz, the average frame rate of CPU simulation rises to 388 FPS, the increase is an exaggerated 17%, and the average frame rate rendered by the CPU is 214 FPS, which is about 7% higher than the fundamental frequency of 4800MHz.
Similar games include Gears of War 5, Far Cry 6, F1 22 and others. We have all conducted detailed tests one by one, after turning on XMP-6400MHz, Kingtech Speedtiger T4 DDR5 memory can indeed bring certain performance improvements, especially "Gears of War 5", "Far Cry 6", the frame rate has increased by more than 20 frames, reflected in the most intuitive experience in the game is that the game frame rate has increased, and the operation is more handy.
In terms of online games, we tested two popular FPS games, namely CS:GO and Valorant. One thing is to say, the memory frequency does have an impact on some online games, and the performance of the Kingtech Speedtiger T4 DDR5-6400MHz memory at 4800MHz is indeed not bright after opening XMP, and the game frame rate will be greatly improved after opening.
The most obvious is "Valorant", at high frequencies, both average frames and 1% Low frames have a 10% improvement! Therefore, users who like to play online games can upgrade their memory to Jintek Speedtiger T4 DDR5-6400MHz, and the performance of high frequency and low timing is believed to make your game experience go further.
Authoring performance tests
After testing the game, the test of creative performance is naturally indispensable, we chose Puget Bench's da Vinci, AE, LR, and PS for testing, and the increase in memory frequency is indeed a good thing for this type of software. Some projects can even improve 100-200 points, like da Vinci, the performance at 6400MHz is increased by 5% compared to 4800MHz, and the score increase is nearly 200 points, you don't underestimate this two hundred points, reflected in the actual operation, higher memory frequency can bring you faster response and higher efficiency.
In terms of creative productivity, we also tested UL Procyon, Kingtech Speedtiger T4 DDR5-6400MHz performance in UL Procyon content creation performance is basically the same as Puget Bench test, the advantage of high frequency and low timing is still obvious, which can have a significant impact on the performance of the whole machine.
Other productivityWe also tested Blender rendering and X264 video encoding transcoding, and it is clear from the test results that the XMP of the Kingtech Speedtiger T4 DDR5-6400MHz does have something, both the rendering speed and the transcoding efficiency are much better than the JEDEC DDR5-4800 performance.
Summary of the review
One by one, after a round of testing, the performance of the Kingtech Speedtiger T4 DDR5-6400MHz really exceeded my imagination. There is also a more conspicuous performance under the bright exterior, the high-performance performance of the 6400MHz C32 under XMP, and the proper performance monster, players can use it immediately. The exquisite appearance design is the icing on the cake for this memory, which is more eye-catching.
Kingtech's memory is quite aggressive in performance release, and the 6400MHz XMP file is close to or even exceeds 100GB/s in read and write performance. If your platform is strong enough, the performance after overclocking is also considerable, there will be better frame rates in game tests without frame drops, and of course, after overclocking, there will be a certain degree of improvement in the performance of your CPU single-core and multi-core.
Most importantly, the Kingtech Speedtiger T4 DDR5-6400MHz memory is equipped with hynix particles, players familiar with hardware should know that its overclocking space is very good, compared to other DDR5 memory playability is full, completely in line with the imagination of geek players. If you want to buy a DDR5 memory recently, you can consider the Kingtech Speedtiger T4 DDR5 memory, which has a powerful performance bonus, allowing you to enjoy the game with full firepower and creative efficiency.
