Preface
12 generation Core launch has brought DDR5 memory into the field of vision of gamers. Although DDR5 memory has read and write performance, problems such as too large timing and too high latency make it impossible to completely replace DDR4 memory. In addition, this year's 13th generation Core still supports DDR4 memory, and none of the more mature products and cost-effective DDR4 has become the first choice for many players.
As early last year, Acer Predator Talos memory was launched by Samsung B-die pellets. At that time, the powerful performance and overclocking potential of this memory were impressive. Recently, Acer Predator launched a new Predator Talos memory. Let’s take a look at what the new Predator Talos memory is.
memory unboxing
First, let’s have a simple unboxing. The memory outer packaging is an independent outer packaging box + blister fixed inner box design. The pure black background is matched with product renderings and simple product information. The packaging is simple and there is no excessively gorgeous decoration. After all, the inner is the king. The upper left corner of the
box is the classic logo of the Predator series. The back of the
package box is key information about Acer Predator Talos memory, including 3600MHz frequency, timing CL16-16-16-36, support for Intel XMP2.0, operating temperature recommendations and storage temperature recommendations, etc.
and the word "lifetime warranty" can also be seen on the packaging box.
Memory Appreciation
After unpacking the outer packaging, the memory is still the classic armor shape, black and white color design, with white sides and black in the middle. When you look closely, you will feel calm and restrained. No matter what style of the host, you can match it.
The entire memory can be divided into three-stage structures, with white protective sheets on both sides, hollowed out on both sides, and black textured alloys in the middle, with glossy raider logo printed in the middle, with sharp shape.
heat dissipation vest is very material, weighing up to 80 grams. If you weigh it, you will find that this memory is heavier than most non-light vest strips on the market. The customized zinc alloy material has a good heat dissipation effect, ensuring that the heat of particles can be quickly dissipated when the memory runs at high frequency, and it also has more advantages in drop protection. The memory tag on the back of
indicates that this memory is DDR4-3600MHz, the timing is CL16-19-19-39, the operating voltage is 1.35V, and MadeinChina.
Acer Predator Talos memory uses customized 10-layer enhanced PCB board, which is also a factor of "weight". More PCB layers can not only make the wiring of integrated circuits more convenient, but also reduce signal interference between lines. The stability of the memory is guaranteed and the overclocking performance is completely released.
has also optimized memory stability. There is also a 15μin gold finger, which is 5 times that of the industry's 3μin. The thicker gold finger has super plug-in and unplug-resistant and oxidative resistance, which is conducive to memory data transmission. In addition, the new version of Predator Talos memory also integrates a temperature sensor, supports real-time temperature monitoring, and can also monitor the memory status in real time during overclocking.
Basic parameters
After reading the appearance of the new Acer Predator Talos memory, let's go to the computer to see how this memory performs.
ChPU-ZView basic information
Of course, before the official test begins, we will have a comprehensive understanding of this platform and memory through monitoring software. In CPU-Z, we can view basic information on core hardware such as CPU processor, motherboard, memory, and GPU graphics cards. From the figure, we can see that the SPD in Acer Predator Talos memory contains a set of information, namely XMP1, with the timing set to 16-19-19-39, and the frequency is 3600MHz.
ThaiphoonView memory parameters
Through Thaiphoon, you can have a deeper understanding of the parameters and specifications of Acer Predator Talos memory. The software identified the pellet manufacturer of memory as Micron . The pellet is an E-Die series with good performance, and the pellet model is D9WFL.
In addition, in Thaiphoon software, we can also learn that this memory uses a single-sided particle design, and it is still a fresh memory that was released from the factory in August.
Performance test: The timing can be relaxed and can exceed 4400MHz
Generally speaking, users who buy this type of memory will open XMP or manually overclock. We will choose XMP and manual overclocking to test the theoretical performance of the memory. The test will include two platforms, one is Intel platform : i5-12600KF + Asus ROGSTRIXZ690-AGAMINGWIFI snow blowing motherboard, and the other is AMD platform: R9-5900X + Asus ROGCROSSHAIRVIIIHEROC8DH motherboard.
Intel platform: Under the XMP3600MHz
Intel platform, the memory benchmark test of AIDA64 is run at 3600MHz frequency. The read speed of this memory is 56546MB/s, the write speed is 53130MB/s, the copy speed is 53364MB/s, and the delay is 58.9ns, which performs quite well.
Intel platform: OC4000MHzC16-22-22-422T
We overclocked this memory again and finally locked the memory frequency at 16-22-22-424000MHz. When tested at this frequency, the results of reading, writing and copying were 62455MB/s, 58300MB/s, and 58387MB/s respectively. The delay and reverse improvement were only 57.8ns. There are many improvements in reading, writing, writing and copying compared to XMP, among which the read performance is improved by 10.4%, the write performance is improved by 9.7%, and the replication performance is improved by 9.4%. It can be seen that high frequency improves memory performance significantly, and can also improve the overall execution and response efficiency of the platform.
AMD Platform: XMP
Turn on XMP under the AMD platform. In the AIDA64 memory benchmark test, the actual reading score was 53844MB/s, the writing score was 52849MB/s, the copy score was 47230MB/s, and the delay was 67ns, which performed well. This score is equivalent to the memory of the Acer Predator Talos of Samsung B-Die pellet.
AMD Platform: OC4400MHzC24-
On the AMD platform, after continuous debugging, this set of memory can finally run 4400MHz frequency stably under the C24-28-28-461T. In the AIDA63 memory benchmark test, the reading, writing and copying scores were further improved. The actual reading was 64352MB/s, writing 55644MB/s, and copying 55425MB/s. Compared with the XMP state, the overall performance was improved by nearly 15%, but the delay also increased.
memory frequency has a great impact on data decompression, so we also used 7-Zip to test Acer Predator Talos memory sticks.
Intel platform
at 3600MHz frequency, the compression test score is 75.793GIPS, the decompression test score is 95.831GIPS, and the overall test score is 85.812GIPS.
. When the frequency is overclocked to 4000MHz, the compression test score is 77.414GIPS, the decompression test score is 95.383GIPS, and the overall test score is 86.339GIPS. From the test results, it can be seen that there is obvious advantages in the compression test project with high-frequency memory, and it is also shorter, but in the decompression test, the performance is almost unchanged.
AMD Platform
On the AMD platform, after overclocking this set of memory to 4400MHz, whether it is compression or decompression, it has a significant improvement compared to the Intel platform. The actual compression score is 87.77GIPS, decompression is 163.915GIPS, and the total score is 125.843GIPS.
Game Performance Test
After testing the theoretical performance, actual performance is the hard truth. We chose three games for testing, namely "PUBG", " Gears of War 5" and "Tomb Raider: Shadow", to see if the memory frequency has an impact on the game performance.
"PUBGUBG"Game Test
In the popular chicken-eating game "PUBG", when XMP is turned on by default, the real-time frame rate of the square screen is 420FPS. After manually overclocking to 4400MHz, the game frame rate has increased significantly, directly soaring to 515FPS, and the performance improvement is as high as 23%.
3600MHz Run "PUBG"
4400MHz Run "PUBG"
In the running map, high-frequency memory is also of great help to improve game performance. The default XMP file is basically around 200FPS when running map. After manually overclocking to 4400MHz, the game frame rate rises to 266FPS, and the frame rate increases by more than 32%.
3600MHz Run "PUBG"
4400MHz Run "PUBG"
"Gears of War 5" game benchmark
In the benchmark test of "Gears of War 5", high-frequency memory has a significant advantage on frame count. In the same real-time picture quality, with XMP to 3600MHz, the real-time frame count of the picture is 169.05FPS.
3600MHz After running "Gears of War 5"
manually overclocked to 4400MHz, the real-time game frame count is increased to 173.65FPS. The actual game experience feels smoother. Replacing high-frequency memory can significantly increase the average game frame count.
4400MHz Run Gears of War 5
"Tomb Raider: Shadow" game benchmark test
Then we also tried another 3A masterpiece. At the default XMP-3600MHz and the actual measured 1080P image quality, the real-time frame rate of the game is 289FPS. After manually overclocking to 4400MHz, the game frame rate has exceeded 300FPS, proving that without replacing graphics cards, CPUs and other hardware, replacing high-frequency memory can significantly increase the average frame rate of the game, which has a considerable bonus to the game experience.

4400MHz Run "Tomb Raider: Shadow"
Creative Performance Test
In the video editing benchmark test of ULProcyon, the total score obtained by the default XMP-3600MHz frequency test is 7546 points. After manual overclocking to 4400MHz, the total score is increased to 7657 points. In actual performance, high-frequency memory can shorten the export time of video. In addition, when editing videos, high-frequency memory also adds real-time playback, adds effects, etc.

After measuring the impact of memory frequency on video clips, does high-frequency memory have an impact on office productivity? To verify the conjecture, we used PCMark10 to test the Acer Predator Talos memory. The test results of
are as follows: At the 3600MHz frequency, the commonly used basic functions of the actual test are 10379 points, the productivity is 9989 points, the digital content production is 14602 points, and the game is 28793 points; and when the frequency is overclocked to 4400MHz, the most obvious improvement among all projects is productivity, which is 5%, proving that the improvement of memory frequency has improved office performance. In actual applications, high-frequency memory exists, opening files and editing documents will be faster and smoother.

Review summary
Overall, the new Acer Predator Talos has good performance in all aspects such as appearance, materials, performance, etc., and the classic black and white vest is very versatile in both the shape and the color matching. In terms of performance, this set of memory uses Micron E-Die particles, with outstanding overclocking potential. The default XMP can be stable at 3600MHzC16, and has good read and write performance and latency performance in daily use. In terms of extreme performance of
, you can go to 4000MHz C16 after simple overclocking. This frequency can meet the memory performance requirements of most gamers; however, thanks to the outstanding particles and strong heat dissipation of this set of memory, the AMD platform tested can be stable up to 4400MHz. The ultimate overclocking ability not only brings stronger performance, but also provides players with more playability.
Acer's new Predator Talos memory was once called the favorite of non-RGB players with its low-key appearance, excellent performance and strong overclocking capabilities. The pricing of the new E-die is also more friendly than the previous one, with a more cost-effective and more in line with the needs of most gamers and overclockers. If you have recently purchased DDR4 memory, you might as well consider this Acer Predator Talos memory.
