DDR5-8000 didn't consistently outperform DDR5-6000 on AM5

AMD's AM5 platform was tested with various DDR5 memory kits, including the new G.Skill CL26 and DDR5-8000. The testing evaluated performance differences between DDR5-6000, DDR5-8000, and lower-speed memory configurations across different games. Testing showed that DDR5-8000, though offering higher theoretical bandwidth, did not consistently outperform DDR5-6000. The integrated memory controller's operational limitations affected performance. The results varied depending on the game and resolution. Based on the tests, DDR5-6000 CL30 memory remains a good choice for AM5 processors. While DDR5-8000 offered performance gains in some scenarios, the cost difference made it less attractive. The new CL26 memory showed some improvements, but the price was a barrier.
