2666(OC) for DRAM. That's likely as good as it gets.

2666 oc and dual channel.....
(ry)Zen going to be seriously deficient memory wise compared to intel's consumer and enthusiast lines if this is the case....

because in 99% of the activities a pc does , ram plays little part.....

Almost every person I know who has a Skylake system runs the memory at the official settings Intel has defined which is 2133MHZ or 2400MHZ IIRC and if higher clockspeeds were that important Intel would have validated them as standard.
Realistically 99% of people who buy CPUs probably don't overclock RAM and it will only be a few enthusiasts moaning about it.
Edit!!
Plus the Ryzen CPUs have a decent amount of L3 cache too,and we might be seeing 4C/8T CPUs with loads of it.

2666Mhz oc and dual channel might be ok for now but its a little too close to the point where performance starts to seriously suffer across a wide range of apps and games. Anyone running a 6700k l, especially if overclocked, with 2133Mhz ram is most definitely holding back their system. (or course its well know that running mem much above 3000Mhz shows very little gain outside of benchmarks)

you know I linked a review disproving what you have just asserted.....
Don
Even Kaby Lake the official spec is 2400MHz for DDR4.
That will be the review that states
'We saw some nice performance gains from DDR4-2133 to DDR4-2666'

Check your own sources or look foolish....

LOL!! flat line in a graph do not represent gains

Straws.....Straws everywhere!!!
Lol!!!! check the conclusion's of your own link or be prepared to look foolish. You posted the link do you agree with it or not?

I dunno what bit you're looking at, but outside of the memory bandwith benchmarks RAM speed made next to no difference to overall performance in the benchmarks in the article so I can't see how they come up with that conclusion.

Seriously? Your going to argue over a gain of like 4fps or something where it's gone from 117fps to 121fps? Yes at those FPS I'm going to notice that difference /boggle.
Some of you lot just love to find stuff to argue or naysay about even if it's tantamount to grasping at straws.
Seriously grow up already

No where in the summing up (the link you posted) does it say that, what it actually says is:
"but there wasn’t a tangible improvement in system performance with real applications. We ran other applications and game titles when we tested this memory kit and you mostly ended up with flat performance charts like you saw in Handbrake or any of the game titles that we tested today"

I can just imagine some of these forum members giving it the big Dragons Den "It doesn't have 4000mhz DDR4 therefore im out!"
It sums up saying......
'Our advice for gamers and enthusiasts would be to get at least a DDR4-2666 kit as that is the sweet spot this very second'
Do you agree with their findings or not?
You are holding an oc 6700k back with 2133Mhz memory and of
Again a quote from an article YOU posted, do you agree with the findings and conclusions or not?

Don't understand the relevance when it says Zen can do DDR4-2666MHZ.
I have no problem believing that Zen's got a crap IMC though in comparison to Kaby etc.

Their real world gains are very little, marginal improvements, as they said in summing up, having said that they are improvements none the less, so even if it is just 2 FPS yes 2666Mhz is desirable over 2133Mhz.
And thats fine, given that Zen runs 2666Mhz DDR4.
