SK hynix DDR5-4800 2×16 GB SO-DIMM (OEM) ranks #35 of 42 measured memory kits at WhatFPS (5,965 RAM score over 1 verified runs). The numbers are measured in 3 verified WhatFPS runs — not estimated, not self-reported.
Measured comparison
| Metric | Micron DDR4-3200 2×8 GB SO-DIMM (OEM) | SK hynix DDR5-4800 2×16 GB SO-DIMM (OEM) |
|---|---|---|
| RAM score (the kit's own performance: bandwidth + latency) | 7,395 | 5,965 |
| Best rig (GAMING — whole PC) | 3,613 | 1,559 |
| Bandwidth, one thread | 15,591 MB/s | 19,464 MB/s |
| RAM latency (lower is better) | 75.8 ns | 145.6 ns |
| Rated speed | 3,200 MT/s | 4,800 MT/s |
| Runs at (seen, avg) | 2,933 MT/s | 4,000 MT/s |
| Capacity | 16 GB | 32 GB |
What the numbers mean
The RAM score is the kit's measured performance in the rigs it sat in — single-thread bandwidth and latency beyond L3. Platform, BIOS settings and whether XMP/EXPO was on all affect it. GAMING is the whole rig's score. We show both and never mix them.
All numbers come from our benchmark suite, the same test on every PC, written in Rust with no middleware. The methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
