Not anything unexpected here but interesting results nevertheless - the 5800x3d is losing performance to older Intel chips that support ddr5 because ddr5 continues to get faster while ddr4 is basically end of life

Yeah. It was always going to happen eventually.
Performance hasn't nose-dived off a cliff though. No-one with these chips is suddenly thinking "damn". Or they shouldn't be at least.

I know a streamer who does, he says its muscle memory combined with competitive gaming. More pixels affect the muscle memory and can take a while to get used to. I have no clue as i dont do any competitive gaming myself but i think i understand what hes talking about :)

Does DDR5 get faster like fine wine or do you have to buy a whole new set for a 5% perf boost?

I think the earlier DDR5 benchmarks were basically too slow (since they used cards like a 3080 or 3090), which is why the general consensus at the time was that DDR5 doesn't matter, but with the combination of faster graphics, newer games and CPUs with more legs, it is showing a bigger margin. I wouldn't say the old conclusion is not valid, but as HUB says, it doesn't make sense to buy DDR4 for a new PC at this point.
 
You dont necessarily need to purchase new memory as one can further tune the ram as I've been able to get more out of the 8pack DDR4 over the years from a 6600K/8700K/12600K/13600K.

I'm sure the DDR4 ram hub used could be pushed further.

just not a lot of point on the x3ds is there?
 
Had my MSI X470 Carbon WIFI board since 2018.. I'm more worried about that thing dying on me than my 5800X3D becoming slow in games.. at least I have the Team Group 8Pack Edition 3600MHz RAM with OcUK Lifetime Warranty if that goes on me but it seems pretty solid at stock :)

I'd play around with the RAM but history says it never goes well for me, can never get it stable lol

Am4 motherboards are still readily available are quite cheap these days.
