6000 C30 vs 5600 C40 - real world difference?

[eddiew]

Hey folks,

I'm planning a new build for the new year, probably a 7900 non-X, but maybe something from Intel if it makes sense at the time. Either way, it's going to need 64gb memory.

It seems easy to find 2x32 kits of 5600 with slack timings (samsung?), but the 6000 kits with cas 30 (hynix?) seem to not exist in the UK at all. Where I do see them, they're 3 weeks delivery with import fees on top.

Now I don't mind paying a premium and waiting for a good 6000 kit, but only if it's actually a significant difference. If it comes out as like 1% then I don't really care

TLDR, how much real world effect am I likely to see from taking the available 5600 kits vs waiting for a premium 6000 kit? Mixed use of gaming and productivity. Heaviest MC workload is likely to be Cities Skylines (it chews up an awful lot of threads and ram!), a few other games that will max a handful of cpu cores, and quite a lot of Clip Studio Paint which can get laggy with big brushes.

Thanks!

From what I've seen, there's not much difference outside of synthetics and a few outliers (Link, Link, Link), but note that the first two links are using a 3090 and the third a 6800.

The difference appears to be so small, I'd happily buy the cheapest 5200 memory I can get, but if this will hurt future CPUs, I'm not sure.

Ive just bought some 5600 Dominator Platinum C36 from OcUk
To install on a new 7700x setup with an Asus x670 P . It setup easy on xmp running well, and then i manually changed it to 6000, leaving everything else the same, and again its running fine.
Only difference i could see was maybe 1 or 2 fps running game benchmarks.
Very little difference really.
