This motherboard runs at 2933MHz, which is quicker than 3600MHz. It works well with the B450 Tomahawk Max II.

The board with an i5 can only reach 2666MHz, while the 2933MHz frequency is available only with an i7 or higher. (Intel still has some issues with RAM, but the 10th generation offers the best value they've made so far.) If you manage to find a reasonably priced Z490, you can upgrade the RAM using XMP settings and boost performance further! (I actually installed a 10600 + B460 + 2666MHz configuration.)

It's clear that opinions shift quickly in this area, especially just a few weeks ago when everyone thought Intel had regained the gaming title. Most people now believe the changes are minor, so it's best to choose the more affordable option with the strongest upgrade potential. In general, Ryzen is the way to go.

I just hope you find it for MSRP, there is also a bug with Cyberpunk 2077 currently that causes the game not to use SMT but there is a fix for it at reddit! ;D

It's frustrating when games contain issues like the SMT cores failing in Cyberpunk 2077.

It wasn't even recognized two days ago... I was mainly emphasizing that it's not wise to decide only based on what's currently seen as "fastest," because the variations are usually minor. It's better to consider upgradability, costs, etc., since opinions on speed shift quickly (and depending on who you ask, of course).
