Intel NUC11 Cheetah Canyon Memory、Image performance and disk testing：Standard 16GB single memory built-in top-level solid state 980Pro
——Memory test
The Intel NUC11 Cheetah Canyon we received is equipped with only one 16GB 3200MHz DDR4 memory，There is no doubt that this will have a certain impact on the performance of nuclear graphics performance。
In case of single memory，Reading speed is only 25120MB/s，Write speed 23123MB/s，Copy speed 24198 MB/s，Latency is 90.9ns。
As a comparison，Common dual-channel 4266MHz LPDDR4X memory for thin and light notebooks，Reading speed 63808MB/s，Write speed 66772 MB/s，Write speed 65258MB/s，Latency is only 88.1ns，Almost 276% of a single memory。Almost no need to think too much，The performance of nuclear graphics will definitely be significantly affected.。
to this end，We purchased and added a memory to form a dual channel，Performance is coming up instantly，Reading speed 45133 MB/s，Write speed 43033MB/s，Copy speed 39020MB/s。
Although there is still a gap compared to the dual-channel LPDDR4X-4266，But it has been reduced to about 40%.，Although we cannot expect to reach the threshold for nuclear performance full health，But at least 80% of the performance is enough。
——Disk test
The SSD that comes with Intel NUC11 Cheetah Canyon is one of the top solid states currently - Samsung 980 Pro，Supports PCIe 4.0×4 channels，The actual test speed is amazing，Continuous reading speed reaches 4688 MB/s，Continuous write speed 3259 MB/s，4K random read speed 48.51 MB/s，Random write speed 144.8 MB/s。
Image performance test：Single 3200MHz memory bottleneck is significantly upgraded to double channels barely exceeding MX250
Intel NUC11 Cheetah Canyon generally carries a single memory by default，The motherboard has additional memory slots reserved，Users can choose to upgrade。We tested single-channel memory separately this time、Data in two cases of dual-channel memory，Let’s see how many of the performance of the Intel Iris Xe core graphics equipped with Cheetah Canyon can perform under different memory conditions。
——Single channel 3200MHz DDR4 memory
3DMark Fire Strike：In 3DMark Fire Strike Test，Graphics card score is 3567。
3DMark Time Spy：In 3DMark Time Spy，Graphics card score is 1130 points。
World of Tanks：In the benchmark test of the game World of Tanks，Cheetah Canyon scored 3511 points。
Overwatch：At the default high quality，Cheetah Canyon with single-channel 3200MHz memory can only be maintained at 34FPS in Overwatch's shooting range；Adjust image quality to the lowest，The frame rate can be increased to 61FPS。But once you get exercise，There will be violent fluctuations。
League of Legends：Play League of Legends at the highest quality，The frame rate in the line stage is only 96FPS。Generally, the frame rate is more than 60% higher than this when the blood is full。
World of Warcraft：World of Warcraft's 10-stage picture quality，The still frame rate is only 37FPS in the corner of Olipos' main city；Adjust the image quality to the lowest，The frame rate will be increased to 74FPS，It's barely possible to play。
Whether it is a scoring software，Or actual game test，The performance losses are over 50%。With single channel memory，The performance of Intel Iris Xe core graphics can be said to be greatly weakened。At this time, the performance of the nuclear display is at most close to the level of the MX250 residual blood version，And the frame rate stability during gameplay is much worse。
——Dual channel 3200MHz DDR4 memory
Intel NUC11 Cheetah Canyon comes with two memory slots，Therefore, users can expand the memory component dual channel by themselves。After inserting extra memory，The score will increase a lot。
3DMark Fire Strike：3DMark Fire Strike scores 4757，33.4% higher than before。
3DMark Time Spy：3DMark Time Spy score is 1383，Increased by 22.39% compared to before
World of Tanks：World of Tanks benchmark score increased to 4790，36.4% higher。
League of Legends："League of Legends" can be stable at 134FPS in the line-up phase。
World of Warcraft：10World of Warcraft under file quality，The static frame rate of a corner of the main city is 42FPS，Increased by 13.51%。
Overwatch：Overwatch's frame rate is 65FPS with the highest image quality。
From the test results，After upgrading dual channel memory，Cheetah Canyon Iris Xe core graphics are improved between 20% and 30%，Almost improved from MX250 to a level close to MX350。Although there is still a certain gap from the full-blooded version，But many games have reached the basic playable standard，It's acceptable。
If you want to experience the full-blooded Intel Iris Xe core graphics，Only on-board LPDDR4X high-frequency memory can be selected，This depends on your personal needs，In general, it is not particularly recommended，Because in order to pursue this part of the performance，Will completely lose its scalability。
and，Intel NUC11 Cheetah Canyon itself is not about pursuing high performance，Not designed for games，For home office、video、For comprehensive uses such as entertainment，As long as it is normal dual-channel memory，It's totally OK。
