This is the published family hardware data rate, not a borrowed Max benchmark. The matching RTINGS table corroborates 9600 but labels the unit MHz, which is not used as a DRAM clock conversion.

Memory channelsiActive memory channels of the installed configuration, not the number of RAM modules or slots. One installed module is one channel. This holds for DDR5 too, whose two 32-bit subchannels on one module do not count as two channels. Soldered LPDDR memory counts in 64-bit units, so a 128-bit bus is 2 channels, even when a maker calls it quad-channel.
