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. PassMark Performance Test 7.0's memory benchmarking tool is the only test in our setup that takes memory capacity into account. Generally speaking, doubling the RAM will increase the score by about one and a half times. Other than the Kingston HyperX PnP KHX16S9P1K2/16 2x8GB and G.Skill Ripjaws F3-1600C9D-16GRSL 2x8GB, the Patriot Viper SODIMM PC3-12800 2x8GB is the third 16GB set in this review, which can be clearly identified in our RAM results. Other than that, against compared memory, the Patriot Vipers scored fairly high for the rest of the tests in the midst of extremely close numbers.
