3 Things to Know About RAM Speed for AMD Gaming

Faster RAM gives AMD bigger gains in CPU-heavy games In games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Starfield, AMD Ryzen systems see 10-15% more frames from faster RAM, while Intel systems see only 3-5%.

The reason is AMD’s chiplet architecture AMD’s Zen 3 and Zen 4 chips use multiple chiplets connected by Infinity Fabric, which scales directly with memory speed. Intel’s monolithic dies are less dependent on that link.

Buy 6000 MT/s CL30 RAM for either platform, but prioritize speed on AMD On Intel, spend the extra $30 on a better GPU instead. You won’t notice the difference between 6000 and 6400 on Intel, but you will on AMD.
