What customers say about "Cache And Memory Specifications"
AMD Ryzen 5 1600X CPU Processor
- Overclocking has improved and memory support is much higher with Gen2 BIOS.
- Seems to have a stronger memory controller than my 1700.
- CPU took significant advantage of higher speed memory.
- Memory support has been improving, but ECC RAM support is still up in the air.
- Memory compatibility is very low for DDR4 running at 3200mhz and up.
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X CPU Processor
- Memory access latency (when accessing memory outside of CPU cache) is extremely high.
- DDR4 memory speed was able to be increased from 2933 to 3200Mhz using 4 x 8GB DDR4 modules.
- Fast DDR4 memory, and the best GPU you can afford.
- Awesome processor with very fast memory.
- With this right amount of memory, this processor can handle everything you throw at it in 4K and not break a sweat.
