Performance
Performance has been tested on the Intel mobile platform, including the i9-13900HX, 24-core processor, Minisfrum AR900i motherboard, Nvidia RTX4070 FE 12GB graphics card, Patriot VP4300 Lite 2TB NVMe SSD, and Corsair SF600, 600W 80+ Platinum PSU.
All results were performed on the FURY Impact 64GB DDR5-5600 memory kit. Our overclocking limit was DDR5-6000 at lowered main timings to CL36-38-38 and still standard voltage of 1.10V. Overclocking will be described on the next page of this review, while now let’s take a look at our results in various benchmarks and games.
Let’s begin the tests.
Our AIDA64 results are pretty good for the programmed PnP profile. As I mentioned, we can expect at least 3-4GB/s higher bandwidth than on regular modules of other brands.
An even more significant gain is in memory latency. AIDA64 suggests we can expect about a 8-10ns lower latency than on modules programmed within standard JEDEC specs.
The difference in synthetic bandwidth and latency tests does not always show the whole story, so let us look at other tests.
PCMark 10 Applications benchmark shows us differences in popular Microsoft Office. The most significant performance gains can be seen in Excel. It’s also the most demanding if we use various macros and add-ons. All tests show a visible bump in scores between JEDEC 5200MT/s and Kingston Impact at 5600MT/s profile. The overclocked result is even slightly better.
3DMark tests aren’t showing much of a difference in all settings. If we are taking part in competitive overclocking, it’s notable; in any other case, it looks close to an error margin.
Rendering benchmarks like Cinebench 2024 also show some gains. We can see it mainly in the multi-core test, but the single core also reacts well to RAM performance on our test platform.
Final Fantasy XV and Superposition results are barely different. We can tell that RAM helps in the FF XV benchmark, but the difference between the slowest and fastest settings is not high, and we could even say it’s close to the error margin.
We can count on around 3-7FPS gain in modern games if we switch our RAM from the standard series to the FURY Impact. It’s a pretty nice improvement, considering we don’t have to do anything, as modules are real plug-and-play. We can, of course, overclock them, but most users won’t have that chance, and further overclocking is not giving us much above the programmed SPD/PnP profile.
We can count on even higher gains in older games or lower display details. It can be crucial if we use lower-performance graphics cards and we are at the edge of smooth gameplay.
Something as simple as a well-programmed SPD/PnP profile makes a huge difference and causes Kingston Impact to be the fastest DDR5 SODIMM on the market.
