Intel Core i7 920 940 965 Review & Overclocking - PAGE 9
William Henning - Sunday, November 2nd, 2008

Intel XM25 SSD

Intel's XM25 SSD is small but packs one hell of a punch.

You will see the charts later, but I tell you now that it averaged at least 212MB/sec with a 0.1ms seek time across the benchmarks with both HDTach and HDTune!

The speedup in Business and especially Creative Winstone is noticeable, along with a 25% speedup in video transcoding.

This is one sweet drive, and it deserves a "Performance Award".

Quimonda DDR3-1066

The Quimonda DDR3-1066's supplied by Intel were totally problem free and far exceeded their specifications, easily running at 1200-7-7-7-20 with 2T command rate; and 1394-8-8-8-24 - I was impressed! If this were a review of those sticks, they'd get a "Value Award" from me!
