Will adding RAM and changing from HDD to SSD effect Geekbench score? / Geekbench / Discussion Area (2024)

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to us. Changing to SSD is not expected to alter your Geekbench score, as your system's responsiveness does not necessarily correlate to its performance in completing processor-intensive tasks.

The effects of changing your RAM configuration on your Geekbench score can be difficult to predict. Geekbench 4 uses a fixed amount of memory, and scores are partly correlated to the speed at which your processor can access memory used for the workloads. Adding a substantial amount of RAM in excess of the amount that Geekbench uses is not expected to increase your score.

Your Geekbench score may increase if you add RAM to make more complete use of, for example, a quad-channel architecture. Adding RAM can also decrease your score if it is misconfigured, causing slow memory accesses. These kinds of special cases make it difficult to determine how adding RAM will affect your scores, if at all.

If you have any other questions, please let me know and I would be happy to help out.

All the best,
Colin
