AMD Claims

According to an unreleased slide leaked by VideoCardz, AMD has prepared a section for its upcoming Ryzen 7 9850X3D CPU about difference in memory speeds affecting FPS performance. In AMD’s own testing, going from DDR5-6000 to DDR5-4800 memory yield less than 1% drop of FPS, meaning that the memory selection isn’t very important for this gaming CPU. The slide aims to demonstrate that even with cheaper DDR5 memory, priced around $400 for a 2×16 GB kit running at 4,800 MT/s, performance remains largely unaffected. AMD noted that a more expensive 2×16 GB DDR5 kit running at the “sweet spot” of 6,000 MT/s is priced at about $470. This means spending 17.5% more on memory does not provide significant real-world benefits. Gamers can instead to allocate their budget elsewhere and…
