Changing short description from "Computer memory architecture that increases bandwidth by attaching multiple memory channels to the DRAM controller" to "Computer memory architecture" (Shortdesc helper)
Line 28:
Theoretically, dual-channel configurations double the memory bandwidth when compared to single-channel configurations. This should not be confused with [[double data rate]] (DDR) memory, which doubles the usage of DRAM bus by transferring data both on the rising and falling edges of the memory bus clock signals.
 
A benchmark performed by [[TweakTown]], using [[SiSoftware]] Sandra, measured around 70% increase in performance of a quadruple-channel configuration, when compared to a dual-channel configuration.<ref name="tweaktown-banchmark">{{cite web
