[@Savitarax]

What’s also interesting is just the scaling in general being so small on Intel for raw frequency. I mean it’s almost 3000 MHz higher in some of these benchmarks. That’s almost double and it barely breaks 1-5% total. Where as on amd we only saw 4800-6400 which is 2000 MHz and saw 10%+. It’s weird things like that where you often wonder why it would be such a stark drastic change.

[@xTurtleOW]

intel don't really care for as much ram as amd, 4000mhz cl15 in gear 1 is beating everything below 7800mhz in gaming and even higher if you get lucky bin and able to do even higher mhz on gear 1

[@RycoonGalloy]

since ryzen released it's been known that AMD chips need faster ram speed, but no clue if that means that they are being held back by lower speeds, or they unlock higher speeds by using faster ram. One means Intel chips are more "efficient" at using the lower ram speeds, and the later means that Intel chips aren't optimized for faster speeds

[@dex6316]

Intel is literally just the difference from faster ram. Back in the DDR4 days, AMD’s infinity fabric would be tied to the speed of the ram. That’s why higher ram speed outright overclocks the CPU. It is likely that this continues to be the case with DDR5, although I am not sure. You can also see the 5800X3D not caring about higher ram speeds because the additional cache reduces the need to care about latency and bandwidth from the ram.

[@igelbofh]

It absolutely makes sense of you know how ram works. The chip takes X amount of NS to do something. The module manufacturer will choose speed at which the chip can run, and calculate the number of cycles the operation will take at that speed, so it covers the same amount of time in NS. For example an operation taking 13.3 ns takes 24 cycles at 3600MT and 48 cycles at 7200 MT, and the performance will be more of less identical.

With ddr4 they already were the most important timings, now with ddr5 the primaries are literally just for show.

[@GenosseRot]

That is the reason why you should use the XMP2 profile instead of the XMP1 profile. To many search results are still saying that XMP1 and XMP2 are the same.

[@reptilespantoso]

Correct, and also on AMD Ryzen. Much more than CAS.

[@ChiEKKUsama]

Would be interested to see how memory speeds help on mid and low end machines; most people don't have a 3090.

[@TorQueMoD]

I don't even know why they measured FPS gains in this video. Ram will barely affect your FPS. It's really intended to help with loading times, so it's not likely to make any significant difference on low end or mid tier machines either.

[@williameldridge9382]

​@@TorQueMoDwell that's just demonstrably false. Faster RAM provides the data to the GPU faster, which makes you get more frames. Granted, at a certain point there is a dramatic drop off in terms of gains, once you reach the max what a GPU can handle. However, as more and more games adopt direct storage, we'll see that be less and less of an issue. Direct storage bypasses the RAM altogether.

[@Arganoid]

Something I wasn't aware of before buying a new Ryzen 7000 system: it is apparently normal to have a 40 second delay when turning on the machine, and this is to do with DDR5 memory training. That's before POST with no video signal.

The fact that you managed 6400 sticks to run on AMD means you have a golden chip, AMD recmommends to stay at 6000 for optimal performance (Infinity Fabric) and sometimes stabilizing even 6133 or 6200 can be a challenge.

This was a serious upgrade from my previous 16GB DDR3 3200 MHz. It's kind of hard for me to compare what impact it has had since I did a full platform upgrade, but having an all-around powerful build feels a lot more stable.

[@GregoryShtevensh]

Great video! I just wanted to chime in on the discussion about RAM speed and latency. It's important to note that RAM speed, measured in MHz, determines the number of transfers of data per second, while latency, measured in nanoseconds, determines the time it takes for the RAM to respond to a request for data. When building a computer, it's crucial to strike a balance between these two factors, as having too much of one and not enough of the other can lead to bottlenecks in performance. Thanks for enlightening us on this topic!

[@FlorimondH]

Got the "G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo Series 32 GB (2x 16 GB) DDR5 5600 MHz CL28" last December for under 200€. I paired it with a Ryzen 9 7950X. Happy to see I made the right choice. Although it was a pain to have the kit recognized by the MSI motherboard, and I even had to update the BIOS to make it accept a second kit that I bought later to reach 64GB or RAM.

[@Keptains]

im not 100% sure how its with DDR5 or your Mainboard+7950X but be aware that it usually was better to have 2x 32GB modules than 4x 16GB modules. Yes, its a kind of more cheaper upgrade path if you REALLY(!!!) need this amount of RAM. Performance whise its better to stick with two sticks because Dual Channel performes better than quad channel mode. And in addition to that more cheap/mid-range Mainboards and CPUs dont always offer you the max speeds with 4x Sticks. For example: My younger brothers PC has a Ryzen 2700X with a x470 board(Msi Gaming Plus). The board specs say: DDR4 MEMORY: 1866/ 2133/ 2400/ 2667 Mhz by JEDEC, and 2667/ 2800/ 2933/ 3000/ 066/ 3200/ 3466 Mhz by A-XMP mode MEMORY CHANNEL: DUAL DIMM SLOTS: 4 MAX MEMORY (GB): 64 He has 4x 8GB 3200mhz sticks inside and judging by the mainboard specs XMP/EXPO mode should work perfectly fine for 3200mhz. But the reality is that it seems those specs only are valid for a dual-channel (2x Sticks) configuration. When trying to enable XMP/EXPO with 4x Sticks to 3200mhz the system is incredibly unstable and it basically doesnt makes any sense to run it in this mode, hence loosing performance which you paid for the RAM. Only 2933mhz speed worked stable for 4x Sticks.

FANTASTIC VIDEO! But what about RAM size vs performance? Like 64GB (2x 32GB sticks) seems to come with slower CL than 32GB (2x 16GB stick) kits; does the extra RAM space offset the lower CL in gaming performance? I'm planning on getting a AMD 7950X3D when they come out later this month. I was planning on getting a DDR5 64GB RAM kit, to use in this new rig which is primarily a gaming PC with an RTX4090. Any specific suggestions on the best 64GB RAM kit?

[@Verroll]

First, why the heII are you asking this question here and second, if you are planning to just game 16gb is enough and ई recommend cl 28 -cl32 ram at 5200-6000

[@fh5kskalf]

RAM capacity doesn't directly impact performance at all, if you have enough RAM you have enough. 64 GB is directly counterproductive if you don't need it for productivity workloads, since as you point out the kits are slower. 16 GB is just barely enough (the minimum requirement for new games), 32 GB is the sweet spot.

[@madd5]

2x32gb ddr5 can run at the same speed at 2x32gb. But 128gb with 4 sticks will definitely not run. DDR5 can't handle well 4 sticks for now. Shame.

@@Verroll I'm guessing you didn't see the Linus video on them now recommending at least 32GB for gaming PCs now?

I am so glad the sponsoring product reaches it's read and write performance" respectfully". While I think there are many aspects of Korean culture I don't yet grasp, respect does appear to be a very important concept from what I've experienced. There does seem to be a concept of being respectable (in non-verbal ways indicating your own worthiness/capacity-for of being respected by others). With respect to this SSD, if the read and write performance has different metrics when it is being respectful and when being respectable, it would be good to know the respective metrics. I mean this in jest, and in a most respectful way - writing copy that would be scrutinized by the internet (and your audience is probably more pedantic than most) seems like it would be a special kind of torture.

[@blkshp25]

[@CHA0SHACKER]

Because it doesn’t work like that on Ryzen 7000 anymore. IF frequency is dynamic up to 4000 MT/s and not higher. What changes over 6000MT/s is that the memory controller runs at half clock, but you can still try running Gear 1, which is apparently what they did here. IFCLK:UCLK:MEMCLK Auto:1:1 On Ryzen 7000 at least.

[@estebanr7877]

Linus’ hair is looking really good

[@raincatchfire]

Some say that DDR5 consumes less power, but does that hold true in practice? Apparently for the same given frequency (ex: DDR4 4000mhz vs DDR5 4000mhz) , DDR5 consumes less power as DDR5 Voltage is 1.1 while DDR4 voltage is 1.2 (XMP off) to 1.35 (XMP on). However new generations of ram have WORSE performance for the same given frequency, so basically DDR4 3200mhz = DDR5 5000mhz (or something close to that) performance-wise. So my noob question is basically- won't the higher frequency of DDR 5 necessary to achieve the same performance of lower frequency DDR4 cancel out the benefits of DDR5 running at a lower voltage? Thank you.

@1:55 You messed up the video by comparing it to a too-expensive $200 DDR4 @ CL14 choice when CL16 RAM is $100 and you did not even give one cheap DDR4 kit a chance, some are sub $80 with CL18.

Y’all started going to try to figure out if you get to test the tech from the downed ufo??

I'm a computer scintist and I love teh show but it is most of the time lacking on my type of benchmark, I'll love to see some benchmark with loads for compilation tests and/or Unreal Engine! Some heavy loads on the programmer space!

Thanks. I'm going to go download more RAM right now

Apparently I don't understand the stats and numbers of latency and frame rates, or them being critical enough in my builds and PC usage to fret over. November 2022 I upgraded to a i7 13700K with 32 Gigs 6200 DDR5 RAM, on a MSI Pro motherboard and a Geforce 3060 video card. Games, apps and videos run smooth, the memory latency, frame rates, haven't a clue. Watching the videos about this is interesting, but understanding the numbers as to how they benefit my build and system performance is like studying accounting. Mind numbing. Overclocking/adjusting even memory parameters in BIOS to get it up to rated clock speed is scary enough, no way I'm going to try overclocking my CPU!!

In dumb terms what I'm getting from this is "find a mid range / upper mid range RAM speed, and try to make the latency low". Getting good snappy performance out of a not so expensive kit.

Y'know, if I was watching an NCIX video a hundred years ago, and you told me that Linus character would be a famous underwear model... I don't know what I'd say.
