About RAM slots used in 4-,8-, and 12 core machines..



there no question fact 4- , 8-core classic macpros should have configuration 3 of4 ram slots used ... "3of4-slots-configuration prferable, but:



remember argument why 6-core or 12-core mp profit 4of4-configuration:

xeons ar able create virtual 3rd core. max out, need sum of real hardre cores can divide 3 pair of real existing cores can create , use third one. if not case, 4th occupied slot brake instead of helping system.

-----> 12-core mbp help,us tomverify this?
easy him:

run performance test both configurations , report result....
imthinkmthis interesting lot of people.

"as ram possible best , not enough ram in 3 slots worse enough ram in 4 slots" :

agree, having 32 gb of ram since purchased mp (yes, naive , burned money because @ time horribly expensive...)

last question:
matter of 3 slots used ram or not?

in advance​
 

use 4th slot w3690 (6 cores) decrease memory performance (proved in geekbench).

so, magic of multiple of 3 won't work. pretty sure it's same on 12 cores, can't test myself.

, yes, 3 slots matter. 3rd , 4th slots share same channel. therefore, optimum performance, can put ram in slot 1,2, , 3. also, afaik, 4th slot work when there ram stick in slot 3.

since 3rd , 4th slots sharing same channel, no matter how advance cpu, how many cores has. believe use both slots can result in decrease in memory performance.
