Memory speed tiers/LPDDR5X/LPDDR5X-8533
LPDDR5X-8533 bandwidth
LPDDR5X-8533 transfers data 8,533 million times a second on every bit of the bus. On a 128-bit bus that is a theoretical peak of 136.528 GB/s.
Theoretical peak, by bus width
| Bus width | Theoretical peak | Arithmetic |
|---|---|---|
| 64-bit | 68.264 GB/s | 8,533 MT/s x 64 bits / 8 / 1000 = 68.264 GB/s |
| 128-bit | 136.528 GB/s | 8,533 MT/s x 128 bits / 8 / 1000 = 136.528 GB/s |
| 256-bit | 273.056 GB/s | 8,533 MT/s x 256 bits / 8 / 1000 = 273.056 GB/s |
LPDDR5X is soldered beside the processor in 16-bit channels, and the processor sets how many there are. The total width is a property of the laptop's processor, not of the memory.
The peak is arithmetic, not a measurement: the data rate times the bus width, divided by 8 bits per byte and by 1,000. Memory never delivers all of it. Refresh cycles, switching between rows and the traffic of every other core take a share, so a measured figure below the peak is expected and is not a fault.
The RAM speed test measures the bandwidth your machine delivers from the browser, from one thread and from all of them. Read that figure against the row above that matches your bus: one module or channel is 64-bit, two in dual channel are 128-bit.
