Summary
Details about dual memory performance on the Intel® NUC Kit.
Description
Is the Dual Channel Mode supported on the Intel® NUC kit NUC7PJYH?
The Intel® NUC Products NUC7CJY/NUC7PJY Technical Product Specification (TPS)
Section 1.4 System Memory states that two memory channels are supported. However, it does not specify if it is Dual Channel Mode or "interleaved mode" support.
Resolution
The product specifications listed for Max Memory Bandwidth = 38.4 GB/s and also in the TPS is a theoretical specification and not observable using solely a core-based memory bandwidth benchmark.
- It refers to the sum of total bandwidth from all the requestors (Graphics, Cores, RAM, etc) in the SoC to the memory subsystem.
- It does not mean that any specific requestor in the SoC will be able to achieve that bandwidth.
When running a core-driven memory bandwidth test, 38.4 GB/s bandwidth will never be observed.
Additional information
Dual Channel Memory is fully supported on this NUC.
