The Ryzen 7 9850X3D recently launched and proved to be a beast of a gaming CPU, but with the launch came an interesting question, does the improvements to the CPU lend themselves better to higher memory speeds? If so this could mean that the 6000MHz "sweet spot" fort AMD memory speeds could be wrong now, so to find out if that's the case we tested a variety of memory to see just how much performance changes based on your memory.
