The test system used in this review is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 9 7900x CPU, Gigabyte B650E AORUS master motherboard, 32GB (16GB x 2) of Corsair Vengeance 5200MT/s DDR5 memory, Samsung 990 Pro 2TB SSD and a GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1060 WINDFORCE OC 6G graphics card. For the operating system, I used the latest version of Windows 11.
To test the performance of Crucial's DDR5-6000 Pro Overclocking memory, I ran a series of benchmarks using AIDA64 Extreme and PCMark 10. For comparison, I've also included test results from Crucial's DDR-5200 and 5600 desktop memory as well as Corsair's VENGEANCE 32GB DDR5-5200 C40 memory kit.
AIDA64 Extreme 6.85.6300:
First, I ran a few quick tests using AIDA64. Among other things, this benchmark measures the read, write and copy speeds of your system's memory as well as the latency.
Crucial's DDR5-6000 Pro Overclocking memory performed as expected here. With its 6000MT/s speed and low CAS latency, it had no problems taking the top spot in the read, write, copy and latency tests. Even at 5600MT/s, it was faster than Crucial's Pro and "classic" DDR5-5600 memory.
PCMark 10 Extended Benchmark:
The PCMark 10 Extended benchmark is a longer benchmark that covers a wider range of activities. It contains tests that cover the wide variety of work encountered in a modern office from everyday essentials and productivity applications to demanding work with digital media content. The benchmark also includes a gaming test that focuses on real-time graphics and physics.
