I noticed this on my new 3800X build when I added my second 2-stick kit and ran a couple benchmarks.
Prior to getting the second kit, I had managed to get my latency down around 65ns, but I went back to default when I added the second kit (because I didn't expect the 2-stick overclock to work on 4 sticks). My latency went back up to 69-ish (3600/C15 stock), but my FPS in 3D-Mark went *up*. My 3800X picked up 300 points by adding the two extra sticks of RAM...even though AIDA64 clearly showed more latency .
I thought it might be an anomaly unique to 3D-Mark, so I downloaded Shadow of the Tomb Raider and ran the built in bench mark. -Same thing. 4 sticks got higher frame rates than two.
The comments section of the video mentions "rank interleaving"?
Is that a thing? I was heavy into this stuff when I built my last rig (3770k) years ago, but never really dug into the RAM side of the performance equation. With this new build, and the 3000 stuff basically turning CPU's into self-overclocking GPU's, I turned to ram for a little extra performance and this 4-stick thing seems to run contrary to conventional wisdom.
