Hey,
I just like to know how this is possible:
The CPU seems just to support DDR3 1066/1333/1600:
http://ark.intel.com/products/53476/Intel-Core-i7-2860QM-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-3_60-GHz
Even the 4th and 5th generation i5/i7 CPUs in the latest 2015 MBPs officially support only up to 1600 MHz (Haswell) and 1866 MHz (Broadwell) and mine is just a 2nd generation (Sandy Bridge).
Is it maybe throttled to 1600 MHz and where can I see that?
But Geekbench showed a significant higher memory speed as I compared it to the old 1333 MHz RAM. Even the whole Geekbench score was higher as I expected.
I was running the benchmarks after I noticed that everything seems to be a little faster.
There are screenshots in another thread. I will put them in here too when I found them.
