The i9-10900 has 4 channels (Quadro-Channel DDR4-2933 (PC4-23466, 93.9GB/s).
would this be better in this way than an i9-14xxx (Dual-Channel DDR5-5600 (PC5-44800, 89.6GB/s))?
does the numbers (93 GB/s and 89GB/s) mean the speed for a RAM-stick or the speed all together? maybe an old i9-10xxx with 4channel-ram was better than a new dual-channel.
Seems it means all together. (5600MT/s / 1000) x 2 sticks simultaneously x 64bit / 8bits/Byte = 89.6 GB/s
or 2933/1000 x 4 x 64bit / 8 = 93.9 GB/s
so they calculated with double the DDR bus width in the one example, and 4 times the bus width in the other one. That means dual or quad channel is already factored in in those numbers. And yes, the old one seems to be slightly better than the new one. At least regarding memory throughput. I suppose everything else has been improved on. And you need to put in 4 correct RAM sticks to make use of it in the first place.
