Hello everyone, I apologize if this subject has been discussed before. I checked but couldn't find any relevant information here. It seems most of us interested have already noticed the famous screenshot from Intel's release of the 10th generation CPU. The chart indicates that the LGA 1200 socket will support memory up to DDR4-2933. I'm not sure if this means the highest available DIMM speeds would be exactly 2933MHz. I've been puzzling over this for about an hour, and it doesn't seem logical given that manufacturers are already offering boards with memory support in the high 4000s. If this isn't correct, could you clarify why Intel states "Up to DDR4-2933"? Thanks. Edited May 7, 2020 by UponAvalanche Amended tags and title
At a stock price of 10,900K, the system can only handle up to 2,933 units, after which the CPU memory controller would be forced to overclock by the motherboard.
This model doesn't indicate much. The i3 is officially limited to 2400, while the i5/i7 support 2666. Clearly, they handle 3200 and above without issues. It's just the baseline requirement, which helps define more specialized motherboards.
