-
- Peak bandwidth is 500MB/sec/port.
-
- ie a C3880 with 8 memory boards has a peak bandwidth to memory
- of 4 GByte/sec.
-
- Including the Comm reg port adds another 500MB/sec to the total,
- but this is not usually thought of as memory bandwidth.
-
- Sorry, I do not know the benchmarking info you asked for.
