*** AMD "Zen 4" thread (inc AM5/APU discussion) ***
seems that way for gamers, for others who use their pc's for other intensive work, it's a different story.
I suppose AC: Odyssey is just one of those games that works terribly with SMT enabled (seems to vary between models).

But in fairness when AM4 5000 series dropped good ddr4 3600Mhz was £240 ish and it took me 5 weeks of looking to get a kit with low CAS for that and setting up multiple price alerts.
You can if you look about get CL30 6000Mhz 32GB kits for that fine so relative to previous release they aren't any more expensive for newer products.
And yeah you can do that to get same performance now but a 7000 series 3D cache likely to smash that. And you can just drop another CPU in next gen and get another 20-25% performance jump then.
Just need B series boards to release. It's not like the z790 boards are cheaper than the x670 boards. They all 5-10% more for Intels latest too. Both as bad as each other on motherboard side.

Sixteen AMD B650E/B650 motherboards for Ryzen 7000 CPUs have been leaked - VideoCardz.com
AMD B650 motherboards are coming According to early sales data, retailers are seeing smaller interest in Ryzen 7/5 7000 models. The X670E and X670 boards are expensive to say the least, and that’s without including the cost of Ryzen 7000 CPU and DDR5 memory upgrade. However, there are new...

Count how many have a post code.
There will be no difference unless you want to use a PCIE 5 SSD (they aren't even out yet) and even then it will be many years before such a fast SSD is fully utilised.
most likely.I predict £250+
The B550 Taichi is around £280, so it will cost at least that.

I feel like this is a really good take. I'm gonna wait for b series boards to drop then buy a 7950x esp as another forum member mentioned that amd don't really restrict anything on b series boards.
You need two sticks of DDR 5 RAM not one, but other than that yes. If you must get only one stick you can but there will be a hit to performance, but I'm not sure how big it will be. Any speed from 5200MHz and up is fine as long as latency is decent (5600MHz to be absolutely sure), also if it says EXPO it has been optimised for AMD Zen 4 with more tuned timings than XMP would usually set.

Is it worth paying the extra tenner or so for optimised for AMD ram? Can't you just change the settings in the BIOS anyway?
Don't buy separate sticks, buy a kit like this one:2x this one
KF560C36BBEA-16
can you explain why
Kingston FURY Beast EXPO 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 PC5-44800C36 5600MHz Dual Channel Kit (KF556C36BBEK2-32)
Order Kingston FURY Beast EXPO 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 PC5-44800C36 5600MHz Dual Channel Kit (KF556C36BBEK2-32) now online and benefit from fast delivery.

You need two sticks in order to maximise the number of memory channels in use which improves performance.
Well they are supposed to tune some subtimings for you and guarantee their stability which saves work and the profile is automatically applied (no having to enable XMP in the BIOS) which is good for people who are not very experienced with hardware. However, for those of us who are more experienced maybe it's not worth it, but I do like saving myself some time and for it to just be plug and play.
Edit:that plug and play is not due to EXPO but is a Kingston feature and I don't think it works as I thought, you still have to enable EXPO in the BIOS.

With X3D I am pretty confident you would be able to get away with 5200MHz if it's cheaper. I doubt the CL difference will be anything other than negligible on this chip.
I would wait for prices to come down on the motherboards and memory before buying anything if you are waiting for the X3D, people will be able to test how much RAM matters when it's released (although it's probably like 5800X3D).
