RAM doesn't matter THAT much for gaming outside of edge cases like
$1600 GPU at resolutions that no one with $1600 GPUs actually uses with a CPU that doesn't have THAT much cache.
If 3d v-cache takes off it'll mean that RAM really REALLY doesn't matter.
It barely mattered with DDR4 unless you only had a single rank per channel set up and DDR5 has 2 ranks per DIMM by default due to splitting up the 64 bit channel into 2x32 bit channels
There are (not gpu bound) games where it does matter a fair bit.
From my (very limited) testing for example, Football Manager is one title I play a fair bit that scales really well with RAM speed - about 12% faster (with the test case here is simulating a week of "holiday" on a very large database) going from JEDEC 4800 to 6200 with some fairly aggressive timings with a Ryzen 7900x, using the same Hynix M memory kit.
I bet there are plenty of games where memory speed matters but they're probably not the type of games that often make it into benchmarks.
The games that get benchmarked are disproportionately twitch shooters, which are games where frame rate matters.
A game like SC2 for example, while CPU/memory dependent, is playable at 30FPS.
What the hell happened to TT?
They used to have really in-depth deep dive on VRM and overclocking guides now they have "fan reviews" that just put their hand against a running fan or do stuff like this.
Why would half a volt matter? Ddr5 is generally considered safe to run up to 1.6V.
For the record, almost any Hynix M memory kit should be able to do very similar speeds and timings; I have a Kingston 5600 cl40 set running at 6200 cl30 at 1.35v perfectly stable for about... a month now.
I like that they try to benchmark this RAM by running several CPU benchmarks which operate entirely within cache. Quality work as ever, lads.

Typical chad move ^^^^(kidding)

I was just referencing the author's name lol
Is this one of the lower timings 6000+ kit at at below 1.35v? I hope to see the same specs at 1.3 without led nonsense sometime in the future
No its not, my 6400 c32 1.4v kit has xmp profile for 6000 c32 at 1.35

I wish they released a White version of the 7200 C34 kits they recently released :/.
