In these specific tests, I will be taking a look at the performance impact that DDR5 stock and over-clocked memory have on certain games and applications. The memory we used is G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO DDR5-6000 which can be easily pushed to DDR5-6400 by tuning the voltage to 1.35V (+.5V) while keeping the same timings of CL34.
You can see the performance impact that DDR5 makes in all the standard and overclocked configs in the following gaming and application tests.
