I'm checking how the game runs, making sure your CPU isn't overloaded during play. That's exactly what I did, and it worked!

it's not the main reason I chose the 2666 CL16 over the 3600 CL18 since the price difference is minimal. At best, I'm losing around 10-15%, mainly in CPU-intensive games. By then, my FPS might already be in the 100s, so I'd say it doesn't really make a big impact.

The results show a slight difference in performance between single-channel and dual-channel configurations. The gap is minimal, especially when comparing single-rank and dual-rank memory modules. The sticks with 2 x 4 GB are likely single-rank, while the two 8 GB sticks probably represent dual-rank options, offering only a tiny boost. Memory speed plays a significant role for APUs, boosting integrated graphics performance more noticeably than for dedicated GPUs. Since you were using the dedicated graphics card, this effect is less pronounced. The pairing also isn't ideal because your 2200G has just 8 PCIe lanes to the X16 slot, artificially capping its bandwidth at 8 PCIe 3.0 lanes—though this impact is minimal in practice. The chosen benchmark didn’t fully utilize CPU or memory usage, making it unsuitable for accurate comparison. For better insights, try a database or file compression benchmark like 7zip and see how quickly it handles tasks. You might not mind compression, but many games compress data during loading, which could lead to slightly faster load times.

Game performance relies on the engine, which means you need to verify this by playing 10-15 games using various engines and different engine versions.

This explanation highlights key differences between Ryzen and Intel architectures. It emphasizes how Ryzen's Infinity Fabric affects communication speeds and the importance of matching RAM and CPU frequencies. The discussion points out that higher frequencies can lead to diminishing returns and potential performance drops if the clock speed exceeds the fabric's capabilities.

That is the second dumbest statement you made this topic so far. Unless there is a bottleneck from CPU/RAM or IF you will not benefit from higher clock RAMs. Somehow you are not able to understand the concept of bottleneck or anyone else here.

Not always, I use 2666MHz and still see some speed from slower RAM, though it won't be perfect.

Sure, I understand the concept, but I’m not seeing the outcomes clearly. I’ve tested various conditions, and there’s no noticeable change (within error margin). It seems possible that motherboards might play a role, though currently everything suggests this isn’t as significant as some claim by so-called influencers.

You're operating in an asynchronous setting and it's actually slowing you down by trying to exceed the available RAM. Maybe I should have been more clear about that. Running a lock step isn't necessary, yet it seems completely unnecessary.

The board plays a role because some timing details are missing from XMP profiles, and even more timing settings aren't adjustable on the motherboard. This means performance can vary from one board to another, depending on overall optimization. With only two samples here, the numbers are very close—statistically speaking. We don’t have specifics about your RAM or timing details, which could affect the outcomes. In this small test, any differences might not matter much, but that doesn’t necessarily reflect broader importance.
