CPU Benchmarks
There is hardly any difference in the CPU benchmark results, as we didn’t modify processor parameters during testing. Whether or not you use side-port memory does not have much influence on low-level CPU performance.
Memory Benchmarks
The situation is a bit different in the Sandra memory benchmark. It is obvious that the use of side-port memory with no involvement of system memory shared with the integrated GPU provides the best main memory performance. This makes sense for systems that don’t run any graphics-intensive applications at all.
