Is faster memory really worth it for AM5 based Ryzen CPUs? In this video, the next in our "Is It Worth It" upgrade series, we are going to find out. In the "Is It Worth It?" series we’ve been helping you make the right choice by showing you just how much you can expect to increase performance with a drop-in upgrade. In this video our focus will be on measuring the impact of memory speed on AM5 based Ryzen processors. In addition to showing you benchmarks across 18 games, I will also demystify core clock frequencies, and show how they impact system performance. And if you stick around, I will share with you how to optimize your core clocks, something every AMD Ryzen CPU user will definitely not want to miss.
