AMD Claims Memory Speed Doesn't Matter for Ryzen 7 9850X3D, So You Can Save Money on It
According to fresh slides from an AMD presentation, the upcoming gaming flagship Ryzen 7 9850X3D turned out to be extremely undemanding regarding RAM speed. In the company's tests, the performance difference between the "gold standard" DDR5-6000 and the basic, cheapest DDR5-4800 was less than 1%. This is good news for those building a new PC now, when RAM prices are far from reasonable.
It's important to understand that these are AMD's internal tests made for a promotional presentation, so it's worth waiting for tests from third-party reviewers and publications that will either confirm or refute this claim. And only after that should you make a final decision on whether saving money on RAM in your new system is really that important for you personally.
