Discussing the Ryzen 5 3600 and its RAM options
The faster clock speed RAM offers greater memory bandwidth. Regarding timing: 2 / (3000 MHz) × 15 = 10 ns; 2 / (3200 MHz) × 16 = 10 ns; 2 / (3600 MHz) × 18 = 10 ns They share the same latencies—lower is preferable. Edited October 31, 2019 by Kavawuvi (mistyped 3800 instead of 3600)
Are you concerned about the schedule during Ram? There are many variations to consider.
They all perform similarly in terms of latency, so choose the package that gives you the most value. The 3600Mhz model is preferable for games like GTA V/Fallout that rely heavily on RAM bandwidth, while a budget 3200Mhz CL16 kit works fine for less demanding titles.
I understand your confusion. Some kits list ranges like 16 18-18-38 while others show 16-18-18-36.
3rd generation handles nearly everything smoothly. Even the first generation made significant progress after early issues. The second generation offered a hassle-free experience thanks to improved memory and modern BIOS support. A 3200Mhz Cl16 chip will work well; performance gains beyond that are minimal. For you: my friend uses a 3200Mhz Crucial Ballistix Sport on a 3600Mhz Cl16 with the second-gen Ryzen. Highly suggested—great performance with solid memory.
Based on the short clip you mentioned, it seemed like RAM speed increased noticeably—from around 2666MHz to 3200MHz. The exact timing details aren’t clear, but it’s likely the manufacturer tested both single-channel and dual-channel configurations. Jayztwocents is currently running similar tests to confirm these changes.
