Benchmarking the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D with the RAM you should have bought in 2025, as well as the RAM you'll actually be able to afford in 2026.

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D might be one of the best gaming CPUs in the world right now, but the DDR5 situation might well put you off buying one. In this video I've tested the CPU with some optimal spec 6000 CL30 modules, and compared them to the baseline JEDEC spec for DDR5 to see how much you're missing out by cutting your RAM budget.
