Video Description

Is faster memory really worth it for AM5 based Ryzen CPUs? In this video, the next in our "Is It Worth It" upgrade series, we are going to find out. In the "Is It Worth It?" series we’ve been helping you make the right choice by showing you just how much you can expect to increase performance with a drop-in upgrade. In this video our focus will be on measuring the impact of memory speed on AM5 based Ryzen processors. In addition to showing you benchmarks across 18 games, I will also demystify core clock frequencies, and show how they impact system performance. And if you stick around, I will share with you how to optimize your core clocks, something every AMD Ryzen CPU user will definitely not want to miss. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Memory Kit Top Picks: DDR5-6000 CL30 EXPO - https://amzn.to/4egrElD DDR5-6000 CL28 EXPO - https://amzn.to/3NYBkGL DDR5-6400 CL32 EXPO - https://amzn.to/3CjE7ri DDR5-6400 CL30 EXPO - https://amzn.to/3O1NVZG DDR5-8000 CL38 EXPO - https://amzn.to/3UDExPF ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: What's The Best Memory for AMD AM5 Ryzen CPUs? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction 00:19 - Video Focus: Impact of Memory Speed 00:46 - AMD AM5 Platform Demystified 01:23 - Which Memory Kit Should You Buy? 01:55 - Ryzen 7000 & 9000 Series CPU Architecture 02:51 - Optimizing AM5 Based Ryzen CPU’s 04:10 - Test Setup & Components 05:05 - Test Methodology 05:41 - Benchmarks (DDR5-6000 vs DDR5-6400 vs DDR5-8000) 05:44 - Cinebench R24 05:49 - AIDA64 Extreme 05:54 - 3DMark Time Spy Extreme 05:59 - 3DMark CPU Profile 06:04 - Blender 4.2 06:09 - Geekbench 6 06:14 - 7-Zip 19.0 06:19 - Total War: Warhammer III 06:24 - Cyberpunk 2077 06:29 - Company of Heroes 3 06:34 - Microsoft Flight Simulator 06:39 - Forza Horizon 5 06:44 - Civilization VI 06:49 - Shadow of the Tomb Raider 06:54 - Red Dead Redemption 2 06:59 - Middle-Earth: Shadow of War 07:04 - Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy 07:09 - Formula 1 2023 07:14 - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III 07:19 - The Talos Principle II 07:24 - Far Cry 6 07:29 - Horizon Zero Dawn 07:34 - Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora 07:39 - Assassin's Creed Mirage 07:44 - Black Myth: Wukong 07:49 - 17 Game Average 07:54 - How To Select the Best MCLK, UCLK and FCLK 09:25 - Optimum Clock Speed Performance Improvement Summary 10:22 - Memory Performance Overview 11:17 - Impact of Cost on Value 11:49 - Is Buying Higher Speed Memory Really Worth It? 12:35 - Wrap-Up ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for watching this video in the "Is It Worth It?” upgrade series.
