I understand that CPU-Z reports RAM frequency as half the actual speed (DDR). My issue here is that I have a laptop, it's a few years old, it was cheap for then and was never a performer.
Specs:
E2 3800 1.3 GHz
4 GB DDR3 1333 MHz
500 GB 5400 RPM HDD
On the official Toshiba website, it shows that the RAM frequency is 1333 MHz. CPU-Z is reporting it at 665.3 MHz. All fine and dandy. But when I enter Task Manager in Windows 10 (also did this on Windows 8.1), it reads the RAM frequency as 800 MHz. This isn't an issue as much as an annoyance. I'm just curious as to why Windows would be reporting it at 60% of the actual frequency. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for replies in advance.
