AIDA64
AIDA64: AIDA64 is a software product from FinalWire that monitors the system by providing detailed information on hardware components. The software includes a utility inside the bench capable of testing memory and cache inside the processor.
Above, we reported a screen carried out with the latest version of AIDA64 that shows the bandwidth of memory, L1, L2 and L3 caches at various phases of reading, writing and copying. The thing that we want to put special emphasis is a very unusual result, for example in the reading tests (Read) you can see that Bulldozer clearly shows an L2 cache speed slower than the L3 cache one. This result is obviously impractical and wrong, because such a situation can not be real. No doubt we can say that the results made with this benchmark are unfortunately to be taken with caution, and we just bring them back for the record.
We show below two screens performed during the test having set an operating frequency of 4 GHz, and also in this case we obtained the same anomalous result:
Let's add the remainder of the charts made by the CPUs set to 4 GHz, of course, the same considerations apply as before.
