I'm more interested in comparison between 16x2 single rank kit, 16x2 dual rank kit and 8x4 single rank kit. Based on Ryzen 3000(and that 8x4[dual-rank per channel] is faster than 8x2[single-rank per channel]), 16x2 dual rank should be the fastest but Wendell says otherwise. Would love to see the margin of difference and if it's as high as the ones here.

So basically having 4 memory ranks is ideal for Zen 3. You can either use 4 sticks of single rank or 2 sticks of dual rank. Both do the job.

Did he even say dual rank in the video? It has been common knowledge forever that dual rank is good and 4x single rank DIMMS emulates 2x dual rank. The video is low quality compared to GN's normal output as it confuses the issue, someone who knows nothing of rank will watch the video and be none the wiser.

Did I miss something? When did we all upgrade from 2x8gb to 2x16gb?

[u/Umba360]

Cannot watch right now.

Does he mention wether 2x16gb is better/worse than 4x8gb?

I have 2x16gb 3600 CL16

Isn't this just a half hour video of Steve failing to understand rank interleaving?

Maybe I'm missing something as he seems to suggest it's new behaviour for the 5000 series (which that wouldn't be) and that 2x16GB single rank DIMMs are best (which just seems weird). But none of his charts show any of that, so I don't really understand the point he's making.

Did Steve just discover hot water?

Will the number of RAM sticks be less relevant when gaming at 1440p?

I was already confused on what ram to buy for the 5600x, and now I am even more confused....fml
