Higher capacity modules are unlikely for desktop as dropping nodes does not bring much for RAM which is why we have 24Gb chips and not 32Gb ones. If you need so much RAM, Intel W790 or Threadripper is the best option, I would go with the W790 platform over Threadripper. The W790 platform has 8 RAM slots and is quad channel registered DDR5 so you could easily run 256GB+ at 6000+.Do let me know if there's any success with that.
I may or may not grab new RAM if that's a viable approach. But for me, 96GB isn't enough RAM for what I do so will need to wait on larger capacities anyway. And by that point, just might stay on 3600MHz, but jump to 256GB RAM. As I don't think I gain much in terms of more RAM speed anyway vs the capacity for most of the stuff I do, just minor improvements that I can live without. It's basically the VRAM issue in GPU's, if you have the VRAM, you can run it (slower), but if you don't have the VRAM, you can't run it full stop.
I guess I'd be interested to know how high the DRAM frequency can be pushed with stability at 1:1 (RAM:IMC).
Anyone tried that yet?
Maybe the real gains won't be until they upgrade the memory controllers with Zen 5?
wondered what was taking msi so longApparently MSI just released AGESA 1.0.0.7C, so I guess the B version is never going to make it to final.
MSI Rolls Out AMD AGESA 1.0.0.7c BIOS Firmware For AM5 Motherboards, Improves DDR5 Support
MSI is the first motherboard manufacturer to roll out the latest AMD AGESA 1.0.0.7c BIOS firmware for its AM5 motherboards.wccftech.com
Asus 1.0.0.7c out now.
Its B not CAsus 1.0.0.7c out now.

That's pretty good if amd can make the memory controller stable at 7200. Intel is rumoured to be offering 8000mt/s JEDEC on upcoming architecture so not quite on par but 7200 is still very nice
Upcoming architecture? So not 14'th gen?
AMD has been validating 7200 for its servers so that could be the next sweet spot for desktop.There are rumours that Zen 5 will come with a Jedec rating of 7200MT/s.
15th Gen for next year I believe
8000mt/s for new Xeons later this year though as well
