Does Single vs Dual vs Quad Channel Memory impact performance on Ryzen Threadripper CPUs? Ever since AMD has introduced the glorious new Ryzen Family of CPUs, there has been lots of talk about Memory Compatibility with said Processors.

Intel CPUs have been able to use pretty much any kind of RAM but with Ryzen and Threadripper CPUs, XMP, Memory Clocks, Latency, Infinity Fabric, Single Channel vs. Dual vs. Quad Channel and other buzzwords have turned out to be quite confusing, especially when choosing a new System for your 3D Rendering, Video Editing or other kinds of Graphics Design needs.

In this Article Series that will analyze Threadripper CPUs to see how they can be optimized as much as possible, let’s start with how memory channels affect Ryzen Threadripper.Continue Reading

AMD Threadripper CPUs are being talked about a lot. Not only because they finally offer great competition to the very expensive Intel HEDT CPUs, but also because they unfortunately still have some catching up to do in a few easily overlooked areas.

Memory Performance is one such area, that is more important on Threadripper than on Intel CPUs, because the so-called Infinity-Fabric on AMD CPUs, that links the Dies together and lets them talk to each other, is clocked a the Speed of the Memory Bus.

So, it is expected that having a high-clocked Memory Bus, should theoretically make the CPU-Die communication perform better, with potential performance increases.

Let’s see how much of a difference this makes and if it’s worth it to invest more money into high-clocked memory for AMD Threadripper CPUs:Continue Reading
