Very nice post but as a cs student I can say that from the cpu view a ram access is like walking to the store to buy food instead of using the food in the fridge. But the store is acually 200 miles away. What I want to say is: RAM speed is nice but dont go for too expensive RAM its not worth it.

Thanks nice post

As with any other thing in the system if it's not bottlenecking, increasing the performance of it doesn't help much much for the performance of overall system. I.e. as oppossed to CPU+dGPU for many APUs memory speed matters significantly, increasing performance almost linearly as the memory is the one bottlenecking the performance. Also it depends which task is at hand, i.e. (de)compressing vs. gaming is a total different thing, so worth it or not depends on many factors. Generally speaking I wouldn't choose higher speed vs. more RAM for the same price, especially for productivity, but having quality stick i.e. 3200MHz at a reasonable price at 32GB that can be overclocked without issue are a good way to boost performance if RAM is the bottleneck. Usually it isn't, so gains are pretty low for most people.

Thanks for this.

good info

Have some CL-17 RAM which is showing as CL-18.  Apparently an issue for AMD setups?

Very informative post, kudos!

Interesting the different materials being studied for memory architectures.

I mean the nonvolatile types.

ok
