Memory Benchmarks
Memory Bandwidth
Very impressive scores here, with only the much more expensive Intel Extreme processors taking the lead in our tests. We’ve started to include the overclocked scores on a per review basis too, and you can see that pushing the speeds up on Ryzen actually dropped the scores a little. I’m not sure why, but it’s certainly not a cause for concern as the figures are still very good.
Memory Latency
Memory latency is quite high on all Ryzen hardware, it doesn’t seem to have much real world performance impact, but getting this improved would not be a bad thing. Again we see a slight overclock actually increased the latency ever so slightly.
