Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB DDR4 2666MHz (15 17 17) Dual Channel Review (HX426C15FBK2/16)

Cinebench

CINEBENCH is a real-world cross-platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s performance capabilities. CINEBENCH is based on MAXON’s award-winning animation software CINEMA 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. MAXON software has been used in blockbuster movies such as Iron Man 3, Oblivion, Life of Pi or Prometheus and many more.

CINEBENCH is the perfect tool to compare CPU and graphics performance across various systems and platforms (Windows and OS X). And best of all: It’s completely free.

Cinebench turned in 160.88 FPS on the Fury 2666MHz kit and the Crucial kit turned in 158.44 so we aren’t seeing much difference between the two kits despite the 266MHz advantage of the HyperX Fury Kit.

SuperPI

Super PI is a computer program that calculates Pi to a specified number of digits after the decimal point—up to a maximum of 32 million. It uses the Gauss–Legendre algorithm and is a Windows port of the program used by Yasumasa Kanada in 1995 to compute pi to 2³² digits.

SuperPi is our Single threaded test for CPU’s which makes it ideal for moving a large amount of data through ram to gauge the rams speed and efficiency. On the 1M test there’s just a fraction of a seconds difference between the HyperX Fury Kit and the Crucial kit. Translate that to the 32M test and the Crucial kit is about 37 seconds slower than the HyperX kit. That’s normal given the different speeds of the two kits and both are performing right where they should be.
