I know, I was kind of more thinking out loud why they actually just went with dual and not quad, I do understand that quad might be more enthusiast grade component requirement but but.

Triple was a thing, maybe they could do that.

well kinda it also depends on the memory speed because that plays a big role in bottleneck situations

Still, the results from DigitalFoundry are nearly always accurate and trustworthy, they also just look more logical when you look at the difference between the CPUs IPC difference there

The only point I'm trying to make is that numbers for ddr4 systems and ddr3 systems can be a little skewed due to the memory speed increase rather than the chip itself, not much mind you but a bit, and it is more prevalent in bottleneck situations like the ones digital foundry uses for CPU testing so they might want to give the memory speeds for the systems.

AFAIK they always try to test those CPUs at as similar specs as possible, meaning that if they compared an 7700K and a 2700K, they'd run DDR4 at 2400MHz and DDR3 at 2133MHz for the 2700K cause it'd be the maximum possible speed so it's safe to assume that it's as reliable as it gets

I don't see their systems listed in the video or on their website, which is pretty sketchy.

Do you have any source that they always try to test them with as similar components as possible?

 

I know that they sometimes show the memory frequency, but as far as I know they only do that when they are specifically testing with memory in mind.

The memory controller costs more and it makes the motherboard more expensive because of the extra traces and power delivery needed.

Mmmkay.
