Infineon CE-5 vs Samsung UCCC - 18 benchmarks compared!!!

Yo XS!

Have you ever wondered which 2GB kit would perform better in your setup? Or how much difference there is between them? This short write-up is an attempt to give one an idea how Infineon CE-5 based 2GB set stacks up against it counterpart built with Samsung UCCC.

I "locked" my Opteron @ 3200MHz and tested each set of memory (CE-5 and UCCC) at it's max possible frequency that particular divider allows - div183 for UCCC @ 291MHz 7-4-4-3.0-1T and div166 for CE-5 @ 267 5-2-3-3.0-1T.
I put as much effort as I could to run each type of memory "as tight" as I could. I decided to limit my test to CAS3.0 on CE-5 as well as TRCD=4 on UCCC only. Both kits have somewhat above average OC potential.

Tests were run one at a time, screenshots taken, then PC was rebooted and next test was performed.

Setup:
AMD Opteron 146 @3200MHz
DFI LP Ultra-D R.A02, BIOS 11/14 Official
NForce4 drivers 6.70, USB, Network and Audio enabled.
EVGA 7800GTX 256MB KO @ 500+40/1400 (low-power mode disabled thru BIOS-mod)
Forceware 84.21, default driver settings (Quality)
Windows XP SP2 fresh install, not tweaked
2GB Corsair TWINX2048-4400PRO (Infineon CE-5)
2GB G.Skill F1-4000USU2-2GBHZ (Samsung UCCC)

There you are, here are the results - 1st column for CE-5 and 2nd for UCCC...
