8. Conclusion
Balancing memory with 2
nd
Generation Intel® Xeonscalable processors increases
memory bandwidth and reduces memory access latency. If memory is populated into a
near balanced or unbalanced configuration, memory bandwidth can be reduced by
up to 33% from its maximum potential.
Applying the balanced memory guidelines demonstrated in this whitepaper will ensure
that both memory bandwidth and memory access latency are optimized, therefore
ensuring peak memory performance for Dell EMC PowerEdge servers.
