geekbench scores

[regarc]

Hello,

I'm trying to evaluate how well my RAM (27" 3.5/18,3/2017 iMac/48 Gb dram) is functioning. When forum members post their geekbench scores, exactly which scores are they posting? Is it the single or multi-core score, or memory bandwidth, etc.?

Thanks,

Richard

Yes, I have about three of those reports, but I'm asking which scores are used to evaluate the functioning of the RAM.

Are you suspect of your added ram? You have to add it in the correct slots AB AB. So matching ram should be slots 1&3 and 2&4.

This is a mention from a google search from geek bench

The effects of changing your RAM configuration on your Geekbench score can be difficult to predict. Geekbench 4 uses a fixed amount of memory, and scores are partly correlated to the speed at which your processor can access memory used for the workloads. Adding a substantial amount of RAM in excess of the amount that Geekbench uses is not expected to increase your score.

Your Geekbench score may increase if you add RAM to make more complete use of, for example, a quad-channel architecture. Adding RAM can also decrease your score if it is misconfigured, causing slow memory accesses. These kinds of special cases make it difficult to determine how adding RAM will affect your scores, if at all.

If you have any other questions, please let me know and I would be happy to help out.

All the best,
