Latency in memory appears elevated.
Latency in memory appears elevated.
Consider adjusting timing parameters or testing different values like 3600/1800. The L3 cache size you mentioned seems linked to Windows 11, and memory usage is typically around 60% in similar configurations.
The speed refers to how fast the RAM operates, typically measured in gigabytes per second (GB/s). The CAS latency is the time it takes for the CPU to acknowledge a read or write operation from the memory.
If it fits with zen2, I'll leave it alone except perhaps testing 3600 the next time.
Isn't that the reason cited for why AMD CPUs lag behind in gaming? It claims to explain the performance gap, though it doesn’t significantly affect FPS in their own tests or other sources. This perspective is illustrated through gameplay clips that suggest AMD struggles, even when paired with high-end GPUs like the 2060 Super. It raises questions about whether you switched from a slower model to a more capable one, such as the i3 8350K, which offers better raw performance and lower memory latency—making it about 5% faster overall and a massive 16% boost in CSGO.
Honestly, gaming isn't as much of a priority anymore. I'm stuck with that 1080p/60Hz setup. The only time I bought the XT was because there were no good options available, and it matched the regular 3600 model in price. I did manage to get most of my money back on the CPU. It took me over ten minutes, though. I dropped my third place in the rankings, but I still hold the top spot for Pi 1M and my current CPU. The 5900x came only because I couldn't afford a GPU, and I've been pushing my last five Intel processors up to 5GHz—seriously, that's frustrating!
I noticed you mentioned a problem with L3 on Windows 11. Has anyone determined whether this was a real performance concern or just part of the feedback?
It's really disappointing, but I believe it comes from Aida's reporting style. The performance still came through well.
