TweakTown writes Haswell's integrated memory controller brings back the good old days of speedy memory overclocking on the Intel platform. With the introduction of Ivy Bridge, memory overclockers discovered that high CPU overclocks were usually only possible with a single stick of memory, but Haswell seems to change this for the better.
This morning Ocaholic has posted a CPU-Z report that shows an Intel Core i5 4670T overclocked to 3.322GHz using 16GB of Apacer RAM. While a RAM overclock of 1.661GHz (3.3GHz DDR) is nothing special with a single RAM stick, the important thing to note is that it was achieved with all four DIMM's populated.
