Introduction

Gamer MELD is back with some interesting benchmarks and performance comparisons for rising CPUs. In this article, we will be focusing specifically on gaming performance and the impact of memory frequency. But before we dive into the details, let's talk about an exciting giveaway for our loyal subscribers.

Memory Frequency Benchmarks

TechPowerUp conducted a series of benchmarks comparing the performance of rising CPUs with different RAM frequencies. While they covered synthetic and professional benchmarks as well, we will mainly be discussing the gaming benchmarks at 1080p resolution. This is because the difference in performance was most noticeable in these tests.

Gaming Benchmarks at 1080p

Overall, TechPowerUp found that there was only a 5% difference in gaming performance between different RAM frequencies. This led to the conclusion that the performance gain from higher frequency RAM is generally not significant and may not be worth the investment. However, it is important to note that there were a few games that showed a larger performance difference.

Impact of RAM Frequency on Gaming Performance

Games like Fallout 4, Far Cry Primal, Hitman, and Civilization 6 demonstrated performance boosts ranging from 11% to 17% with higher frequency RAM. These outliers make up the majority of the total 5% difference observed. So why do some games show a significant discrepancy while others don't?

Specific Games with Significant Performance Differences

The variations in performance can be attributed to the CCX (Complex Core Crossbar) modules in rising CPUs. In some games, these modules act as a bottleneck and limit performance gains from higher frequency RAM. However, this is not a widespread issue as most games do not experience significant performance differences based on RAM frequency.

Comparison between Ryzen and Intel CPUs

It is important to consider the initial differences between Ryzen and Intel CPUs. Games that are well-optimized for higher core counts tend to perform better on Ryzen CPUs, as their multi-core performance is superior. On the other HAND, if a game does not Scale well beyond four cores and eight Threads, Intel CPUs generally perform better.

Importance of Game Optimization

The discrepancies observed in gaming performance highlight the need for game optimization. Not all games are able to fully utilize the available resources, and this can result in varying performance outcomes. It is crucial for developers to optimize their games to take advantage of the full potential of both Ryzen and Intel CPUs.

Exciting Times for PC Gaming

In conclusion, the benchmarks and performance comparisons discussed in this article showcase the exciting advancements in PC gaming. With rising competition between CPU manufacturers, gamers can expect better performance and optimization in the future. We are fortunate to be living in a time where technology is constantly evolving and pushing the boundaries of gaming experiences.
