Hi,
So an IT friend and i were talking i7 Haswell 4770k.
He mentioned that the CPU had some sort of special affinity for 3 sticks of ram, giving it a huge performance boost. I was also told the processor would do this without a triple channel mobo, something to do with the controller being in the cpu idk.
Of course i had to go do my research and found vague confirmations.
So the big questions are what is the performance boost, what causes it, if so do i need a triple memory channel mobo, why 3?
Im just looking for specifics on this.
I read this link and it quoted "optimal performance" but i dont want to pigeonhole this just yet until i can find some benchmarks or something.
