Cinebench 2003

Memory latency doesn't have much of an impact on Cinebench 2003 rendering performance, but our tighter 2-2-2-5 timings are a little faster in the shading tests. This time around, the command rate's impact on performance is less than that of the other memory timings. 2-2-2-5 isn't all that much faster than 2.5-4-4-8, though.

Sphinx

Sphinx is a sucker for fast memory subsystems, so it's no surprise that quicker latencies translate into better overall performance. Here, our 2-2-2-5 timings are close to 13% faster than more relaxed 2.5-4-4-8 latencies. Moving from a 2T to 1T command rate only improves performance by about 7%, though.
