Ryzen CPU architecture is unique in that it consists of a number of discreet but interconnected chips: The CPU is made up of ‘core complex dies’ or ‘CCD’s which in turn are made up of a pair of quad core ‘CCXs’ or Core complexes. Why does RAM speed seem to matter with Ryzen? We don’t feel that you can accurately call faster more expensive RAM a benefit if you can only reap those benefits on more expensive hardware, increasing the overall system cost. That’s why we stuck to the Ryzen 3600 and a mid range B450 motherboard. We wanted to investigate this further so that we can find out about the trade off with ram cost, and also ascertain if this is just a theoretical benefit or if it can bring a real world advantage.įor this test we also wanted to use more mainstream hardware.
