AMD claims DDR5-4800 is within 1% FPS difference of DDR5-6000 on Ryzen 7 9850X3D

AMD claims that the Ryzen 7 9850X3D processor performs within 1% of DDR5-6000 memory speed when using DDR5-4800, according to a presentation slide obtained by VideoCardz.com. The comparison across over 30 games shows an average FPS gap of under 1%, with specific games showing differences ranging from +0.2% to +1.6%. This finding suggests that the processor does not require the most expensive DDR5 memory to achieve near-peak performance. Additionally, AMD notes a price difference between DDR5-6000 and DDR5-4800 kits, which was about $70 at the time of the presentation, though the DDR5-4800 price has since increased to roughly $420.
