Your X3D CPU cares less about RAM speed than you do
The article discusses the relationship between RAM speed and the performance of X3D CPUs. It highlights that these CPUs, particularly the 9800X3D and 9950X3D, do not rely heavily on RAM speed due to their large L3 cache. Users may find that investing in higher RAM speeds yields diminishing returns in gaming performance.
- ▪RAM speed is often a concern for users after selecting a CPU and GPU.
- ▪X3D CPUs like the 9800X3D and 9950X3D do not prioritize RAM speed as much as standard Ryzen chips.
- ▪The large L3 cache on X3D CPUs reduces the frequency of RAM reliance, making higher RAM speeds less impactful.
