He evaluated the i3-10100 at 3200MHz DDR4 on an MSI B460M MORTAR, despite the chipset capping performance at 2933MHz and lacking any RAM overclocking support as listed in the official documentation. The testing also included a 2666MHz benchmark.
I didn't listen but I think the numbers suggest this:
1. 2666mhz runs on the B460m with a locked spec.
2. 3200mhz is checked on a z-board to show flexible memory options.
The logic is that many buyers (including me) will opt for a locked CPU and use a z-board for memory overclocking and extra features.
Current time is 2933, using either an i5 or i9. Performance capped at 2666, running on an i3.
Comet Lake-S chips underwent evaluation on a Maximus XII Extreme. Steve referenced this at approximately the 4-5 minute point. Frequencies used were 2933MHz for i7s and i9s, and 2666MHz for i5s and i3s.
The specifications mentioned are 2666 for i3/i5 and 2933 for i7/i9. It’s meant to illustrate alternative choices, like the B460, and to highlight the possibility of using a Z board with a locked chip.
