DDR5-4800 vs. DDR5-6000 Performance With The AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D In 300+ Benchmarks Review - Phoronix

www.phoronix.com

With memory being very expensive Phoronix ran over 300 benchmarks ddr5 4800 vs 6000. Only 1% difference averaged out. Confirming what AMD said about speeds with the new 9850x3d. It is very load type dependent. Ironically the AI tests showed next to no difference. Lol.

Makes sense. The whole point of X3D is to increase the L3 cache hit rate and make memory matter less. If a game really likes X3D, it will not rely on DRAM very. The impact should be very game-dependent. Will be fascinating to look at this later.
