Typical DDR5 performance reaches up to 6400 MT/s per channel.

Normal DDR5 RAM speeds typically range from 4800 to 6400 MHz. For Ryzen 7000 processors, expect higher base speeds around 5200–5600 MHz depending on the model and configuration.
AMD states that the Ryzen 7000 series performs best with DDR5-6000 memory.
You must purchase 32GB to achieve optimal performance, otherwise you'll experience slow speeds with 16GB.
Needed to verify details because I hadn't seen the official numbers before. The latest info says the RAM speed is confirmed at 5200, which should be higher than Intel's 4800. This suggests a threefold relationship between clock speed and actual RAM rate, moving from a twofold ratio in DDR4. It also mentions that matching the clock frequency will become less critical. I'm curious about how the interface will work—will each CPU handle its own DDR5 bandwidth or face internal limitations? The threefold factor hints they might widen internal data paths by 50% compared to Zen 3 if they need more throughput. On the other hand, a single CCD processor may struggle to fully leverage fast RAM, especially with the GPU taking on extra power.
