Top choice for Z490 motherboards offers strong performance and reliability.
It's true that Intel experiences decreasing benefits at higher speeds. However, increasing speed generally improves latency reduction. This setup would enhance system responsiveness and work tasks involving frequent read/write operations from storage. Gaming performance tends to improve with faster speeds, though gains may diminish as the speed increases further. The performance curve levels off, which aligns with your observation.
I'm fully clear on the point of diminishing returns here. However, Intel allows you to run at around 4000Mhz memory smoothly without significant latency issues, while AMD typically caps at about 3600Mhz. Going beyond that with AMD would hurt performance because of the Infinity Fabric limitations.
