PassMark PerformanceTest is an integral benchmarking program to our battery of standard performance evaluation software collection here at APH Networks. It takes a somewhat different approach in obtaining results compared to other programs, which is why we like to use it, haha. The G.SKILL Ripjaws-X F3-14900CL9D-8GBXL 2x4GB bested its main rival in this review, the Patriot Viper Xtreme Division 2 PC3-15000 2x4GB, in three out of four tests -- again, but a very small margin; possibly due to better latencies. On the other hand, the Patriot kit still performed very consistently; it barely edged out the Ripjaws-X in the CPU benchmark.
