There are instances where Ryzen edges out (1080p/medium) by a "solid margin," but these usually occur when both systems already exceed 300+ fps. Most titles show variations of ±5%, with a few notable exceptions on either side. GN's assessment is the most positive for Ryzen, though their approach is more extensive and precise than practical, and even then, the number of games studied remains limited compared to HUB's findings. Overall, at this stage the performance gap between these processor lines seems nearly the same, significantly less than the difference between Intel and Ryzen 1-3rd gen.
The 10th generation chip on the z590 board will support memory kits with speeds ranging from 3800MHz up to over 4800MHz.
No, a 11th generation processor isn't required just for faster RAM support.
Typically, both the 10th and 11th versions share the same IMC, which means they should perform similarly. It seems likely that the 11th generation could offer quicker memory speeds due to its ability to separate memory from the system agent (Gear 2), though I'm not sure if this translates to real-world improvements.
Memory speed drops aren't typical during gaming; higher settings boost performance. Lower latency improves responsiveness and can raise FPS. Going to 4000+ is often worthwhile for better timing.
