RAM performance at 5,360 MHz.
Across the scene many suggest adding 3600 extra RAM for a Ryzen 5 3600. It’s only slightly pricier than 3200, under 10 euros, yet in some cases the 3600 version performs worse. The reasons for these suggestions aren’t clear, and whether it’s worth it depends on your specific needs.
When the gap isn't large, choose 3600. Previously it would have been a third of the cost. A 400MHz variation likely gives up to 5% extra speed.
