The Asrock DeskMini was tested using DDR4-2133 memory in a dual-channel configuration just as the MSI Cubi 2 Plus was. However, the DeskMini has the advantage of being tested with a faster Core i5 processor and therefore delivered a more impressive 27.4GB/s.

Again, because the DeskMini was tested with a Core i5 processor it came out on top when measuring cache performance, the 6500 was a good bit faster than anything we had tested previously in a small form factor PC.
