It was not an easy decision how to award the benchmark points in IsMyMemoryOK on Windows 12, 11, 10 and other versions, but here is the final solution:- Sequential reading and writing per MB per second is worth 1 point - The other 3 values ( 4K Random , 1K Random , and 64 x 10 MB Random ) each get 0.33 points per MB/second as these measurements are very similar. There are no additional bonus points for access time as it already influences the last 3 values. Giving points to access time would result in double scoring . At the end, the total score is simply made up of the reading + writing values and divided by four . Example for DDR3 RAM 1600:- Reading : 9450+(9060+4040+11180)×0.33 = 17783.6 / 2.0 = 8891.8 - Writing: 8400+(7430+3060+12520)×0.33= 16719.3 / 2.0 = 8359.65 - Total 17251.45 / 2.0 = 8625.7 points This represents an average transfer rate of 8625.7 MB/s , or about 8.6 GB/s . See also: ►► What does the RAM test in IsMyMemoryOK consist of? The measurements on different systems have proven to be very helpful. Intel systems often score highly in single-core performance, while AMD systems are superior in multithreading, resulting in a balanced overall score that represents the average transfer rates well.
