    The memory timings being all over the place does not make this a 1:1 test between any single instance, especially the 5600 with massively loose timings compared to 6000 (CL especially).
    I get it's extremely difficult to find a memory kit capable of the same timings at higher speeds, but still, this variance does impact results, quite significantly in some cases.

    This video fails to mention infinity fabric, there is a noticeable dip in latency when running FCLK at exactly 2/3 UCLK so that would be 2133 @ 3200 UCLK or 6400 MT/s (2133 is about where AMD FCLK tops out at which is why you never see anyone going for 7200-8000 etc.)

      There's nothing on the roadmap and AMD has not leaked any information about any chipset supporting CUDIMM. X870 can't do it. I.e. MSI X870E can use CUDIMMs only in Clock Driver Bypass mode. If you aren't using the clock driver you won't be able to support any of the higher CUDIMM frequencies. So the wait may be longer than you're hoping as AMD is lagging behind with memory support for desktop. You'll have to wait for Zen 6 and a new IOD, as Zen 5 used the older MMC.

    you can actually calculate a lot of that before hand by plotting some values and formulas into diagrams
    eg Gear 1 also nown as 1:1 is actually 2:3:3
    while gear2 is 2:3:6
    you need to calculate your ram timings latency and the those timings which come into play when writing to the ram need to be multiplied by 1000/FLCK eg
    Kit GB/s CL tRCD tRP tRAS 1000/FCLK 1/FLCK*tRAS FCLK
    DDR5-8200 CL38-49-49-84 65.6 9.27 11.95 11.95 20.49 0.73 14.98742127 1367
    DDR5-6000 CL30-36-36-76 48.0 10.00 12.00 12.00 25.33 0.50 12.66666667 2000
    DDR5-6000 CL28-36-36-96 48.0 9.33 12.00 12.00 32.00 0.50 16 2000
    since in gear2 it can still read every clock cycle from the dimm CL/FWL on reads is un effected but for writes and every subtiming that comes into play when we write to RAM we can estimate the latency of that pretty accuratly.
    in some sense its a bit like RAID 10 with 4 Drives (in terms of improvements and penalties).
    These considerations especially come into play when you want Memory configs other than 32GB cause DDR5-6000 CL28 is only in 2x16GB available
    while DDR5-6000 CL30-36-36-76 is in 16,24 and 32GB DIMM's available.
    DDR5-8200 CL38-49-49-84 -> SO far I've seen only 2 or 3 Kits here in Europe at that speed and thight timings that operate at only 1.4V which are all 24GB Dimm's

    AES Encryption is accelerated with higher bandwidth so technically 8000 is still better 🙂 But in all honesty its not worth the money for the average user, but for a power user depending on what programs were tested, I'm not sure what techpowerup used for every single setting and test but my tests show up to 25% performance increase if latency is balanced between the optimum frequencies ie. 6400 and 8000. but some applications and even games can also have a negative hit so it depends on the owners use case. For example, a single PC streaming setup using cpu rendering, I seen a performance boost up to 10% for 1% lows in games if the ccd's are split with process lasso with the Game & OBS, since bandwidth is increased overall thorouput is also inscreased. So my conclusion is if you have the money and need the bandwidth do 8000, but if not, then you just don't waste your time. It is very hard to optimized and tighten the timings with Ryzen at 8000 to the point I deemed it not really worth it lol. Cheers all.

    AMD always benefits most from low latency, has been that way since Zen 1. Nothing new. Obviously it also doesn't do as well in "Gear 2" because it's essentially raising lots of latency for a little bit more speed.

      ​@@ReallySadProfessoryou have to manually overclock it and stress test it , also which memory chip the kit has is the determining factor, Hynix memory is the best available and has the highest chance of clocking to 6000 (since the default spec of your kit is 5600 means is a low binned hynix or is another brand), if it is Samsung or Crucial memory they max 6000, kind of, but with horrible timings, and most of the DDR5 performance comes out of the timings, that's why for high speed kits or overclocking you want nothing else than Hynix.

    I'm sorry, but 1 percentage point increase is not "decent". Unless you know that CPU you buy will do 6400 in 1:1 without a lot of voltage there is no point in shelling out the extra cash for the memory.

    This vid is entirely misleading. It's showing the result of a test of a single Ryzen 9 9950X, not a representation of the Zen 5 architecture in any way whatsoever. Zen 5 cpu's react wildly different to memory speeds from model to model. For example the Ryzen 7 7800X3D show almost no benefit from faster RAM in gaming, whereas the Ryzen 7 9700X show a dramatic performence-improvement using faster RAM. Further your sample-size is 1, making no reference to tests conducted by others to underpin your results in any way, making your results themselves untrustworthy even within your chosen scope. Further, not disclosing these basic facts means the viewer can put no stock in your overclocking skill nor your methodology. Lastly, a benchmark showing %-performance?! Do you even know what "performance" constitutes? Even should the results you do have prove representative for the 9950X line, they would still be completely meaningless showing an arbitrary number based on a meager and random selection of games.
