A quote from the article:
How often do we expect outcomes that defy expectations? When Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party of Canada swept the country with a majority government on Monday, it did not come as much of a surprise to me. They were leading the opinion polls at 37% to 39% up to the election, which, by Canadian tradition, is already very close to take on more than half the seats in parliament. Now, living in the part of the country with almost unwavering support for the Conservatives -- and I will admit I have not voted for anyone else ever since I was old enough to vote -- many people I know hoped for an outcome in defiance of the opinion polls for a blue victory. This has happened before in the 2012 Alberta general election and 2013 British Columbia general election, where the opposition had a massive lead in opinion polls over the governing party before seeing the actual results on Election Day. The incumbents, in both cases, won majorities, despite the fact the BC Liberal's leader even lost her own seat. This time around in the federal election, no such miracle happened, and everything went as expected. As you can see, opinion polls can be wrong, but more often than not, they paint a pretty clear picture of what we expect. In the same way, numbers may not tell you the whole story of how a computer component performs, but more often than not, they are quite indicative of what to expect. In the past few weeks, we have published several reviews on DDR4 memory on the Intel Skylake platform, which ranged from DDR4-2666 to DDR4-3200. Today, we will take a look at the DDR4-2800 dual channel kit from Patriot. Will it defy expectations, or will it perform as expected? Also, with a somewhat modest clock speed and designed to operate at 1.2V, will it leave some room for overclocking if we bumped the voltage to 1.35V? Let us find out.
