Everest is a comprehensive suite of benchmarking tools that can gauge the theoretical performance of every sub-system and component of your PC. We use the Memory and Cache benchmark to see how data flows into and out of the CPU.

Open the application and go to the Tools menu. Then click Cache and Memory Benchmark and click the Start Benchmark button. Everest will test the speed of all levels of CPU cache as well as memory throughput.

While at stock speeds (1,333MHz CL9), the new 965 Black Edition matches its older brothers, although overclocked the read performance and latency seems to suffer a little, despite us optimising the timings at 1,600MHz. The much greater 2.8GHz memory controller clock naturally yields a much higher write performance though.
