Micron DDR4-3200 2×8 GB SO-DIMM (OEM) ranks #27 of 42 measured memory kits at WhatFPS (7,395 RAM score over 2 verified runs). The numbers are measured in 3 verified WhatFPS runs — not estimated, not self-reported.
Measured comparison
| Metric | SK hynix DDR5-5600 2×32 GB (OEM) | Micron DDR4-3200 2×8 GB SO-DIMM (OEM) |
|---|---|---|
| RAM score (the kit's own performance: bandwidth + latency) | 7,705 | 7,395 |
| Best rig (GAMING — whole PC) | 11,994 | 3,613 |
| Bandwidth, one thread | 28,350 MB/s | 15,591 MB/s |
| RAM latency (lower is better) | 127 ns | 75.8 ns |
| Rated speed | 5,600 MT/s | 3,200 MT/s |
| Runs at (seen, avg) | 5,600 MT/s | 2,933 MT/s |
| Capacity | 64 GB | 16 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
