CPUs memory controller utilize memory better in dual channel mode I believe.Just want to know why 8gb 4x2 ram better than 8gb 8x1 ram.
well thanks. sorry for the wrong post.more channels = faster reaction time.
if you change topic back, I can move thread
CPU can talk to 4 sticks at same time instead of just 1, it gives chance of faster reaction times. if it is doing multiple things, with 1 stick its got to wait for each transaction, with 4 it can potentially do more at once.Just want to know why 8gb 4x2 ram better than 8gb 8x1 ram.
oh ok thanks m8CPU can talk to 4 sticks at same time instead of just 1, it gives chance of faster reaction times. if it is doing multiple things, with 1 stick its got to wait for each transaction, with 4 it can potentially do more at once.
I moved it after you changed topic
Are you saying.Just want to know why 8gb 4x2 ram better than 8gb 8x1 ram.

Are you saying.
4x2GB ram sticks and 8x1GB ram sticks.
or
2x4GB ram sticks and 1x8GB ram stick.

By going from 1x 8GB to 2x 4GB, you increase the number of channels from 1 to 2.
Which translates to a “larger funnel” that the information can flow through.
This will become significantly important when dealing with large chunks of information.
correct. However, important note:
4x2GB will actually slow you down again compared to 2x4Gb because then 2 ram slots have to be run per single channel.
8X 2gb ramTrue for dual and triple channel architectures. On quad channel architecture (Threadripper, newer Xeon and EPYC) 4 RAM modules will be faster.
8X 2gb ram
2x4 vs 1x8 gets into this thing call dual channel........it's weenie stuff.2x4gb
