This is such a weird way to misinform the audience with this title "Making Ryzen Even Faster! Extreme AM5 Memory"
Why is Steve running with title when almost all of those fast memories are running on Intel?
Maybe Hardware Unboxed can't tell the difference between "Fast" and "Large capacity"?

I still like HUB, but the stunt they pulled purposely nerfing or somehow not understanding DDR4 in testing vs DDR5 proved they're not impartial at least when it comes to RAM and AMD.
VenditatioDelendaEst@reddit
What stunt are you referring to?
Jeep-Eep@reddit (OP)
I mean, he probably has grapevine stuff for nextgen AM5 for one.
Strazdas1@reddit
clickbait to make maximum amount of money at any reputational cost.
NGGKroze@reddit
AMD is on the hot, so clickbait is expected. In a better world, title could have been something to reflect better the memories and such, but that doesn't generate clicks as much.

I mean, an end to the current black/grey/white/red doldrums is VERY welcome.

You would be an aesthete then. The only reason I even remember that my Arrow Lake machine has black RAM in it is that I keep getting a close look when I reach over to short the power switch pins with a pair of tweezers.

10K MT/s 💀 wonder what Nova Lake would do with XMP also no 128GB Kit for threadripper 🥲.
theholylancer@reddit
with all these things, I wonder how much of it will need an actual new IMC from AMD, and for intel to offer X3D stuff eventually
memory stuff have been uninteresting for a while now for gaming PCs due to the dominance of X3D and AMD's insistence on not doing updates to the IMC / fabric to allow for more performance scaling there
other than maybe having bigger kits becoming standard that is.

If orange had been an option this build, I'd have been on it like a fly on shit.
AK-Brian@reddit
I miss Gigabyte's fluorescent orange and black Z170X SOC Force era (and earlier, DFI's shenanigans).
StarbeamII@reddit
The Asrock B650 Livemixer was wildly orange, but sadly they went to a neutral silver on the B850 LiveMixer.

Zen5 is an impressive core design, but I think it's being held back by Infinity Fabric
Infinity Fabric was designed for DDR4, and Zen4 shows that Infinity Fabric struggles with DDR5 bandwidth, which is why memory speeds over 6000mhz don't affect performance on Zen4 or 5
Dangerman1337@reddit
Considering how long Zen 5 came after Zen 4 AMD should've upgraded it for Zen 5. Especially DDR5 has advanced so much since late 2021.
Jeep-Eep@reddit (OP)
I think that's rumored to be part of the Zen 6 secret sauce?
Dangerman1337@reddit
Yeah pretty much since 8000+ DDR5 kits will be avaliable and Zen 6 can take advantage. I mean imagine Zen 6 with 8800 CL32 Vs 6000 CL30 with Zen 5, can see that giving it huge boosts.
Jeep-Eep@reddit (OP)
I wouldn't be surprised if the IO chiplet also gains CUDIMM support.
SherbertExisting3509@reddit
Amd already has experience with high bandwidth chiplets with MCM RDNA3
For context a Zen5 cpy core can pull 32 bytes per cycle from L3 while an RDNA1 Work Group Processer can pull 256 bytes per cycle from L2)

HuB talking about how useful the 512GB kit will be for them because of the upcoming Threadripper launch.
Does anybody know if HuB needs an office janitor? Asking for a friend.
Kougar@reddit
Definitely nice to see some color again that doesn't involve LEDs. Not really yellow, definitely not green, but I'd have no problems with sticks of that in my build.
Unless those CAMM2 modules have clock drivers built in I'm only going to interested in CUDIMMs, though. Those can't come soon enough given how many people want massive VRAM capacities these days.
Jeep-Eep@reddit (OP)
ARGB AND colour, now that is the ticket.
