"Actually, the Intel chips have superior latency from the Hardware Unboxed testing.\n\nhttps://www.techspot.com/review/2003-amd-ryzen-4000/\n\nYou're correct, they do have superior memory latency.\n\nBut that's not my point.\n\nMy point is the difference in memory latency caused by the memory kits themselves are identical between the DDR4-2666 kits on the Intel side and the DDR4-3200 kits on the AMD side, as they both run at JEDEC speeds. \n\nRenoir systems sporting higher memory latency is purely down to the difference in architecture, and Intel does not lose anything by using DDR4-2666 memory in terms of latency compared to AMD systems. Bandwidth is another issue altogether, but most games are latency bound, not bandwidth bound."
