Maybe, depends on what die you get, if 3000 xmp is Hynix C/D or Micron E/B then it will be close, if they are Hynix AFR, Samsung C, E etc then no way
Once tuned that is!
the 1usmus TPU article kinda says otherwise, and it was done all the way back in 2019
You can pick just about any benchmark on here, some things like latency are obviously impacted by just clock speeds, but as far as gaming is concerned you get quite the boost from adding more ranks
Even if you stay with just samsung, 3200CL14 dual rank outperforms everythning above it
I'm not 100% sure what "multi rank" is vs dual rank, i think it may mean mixing a single and dual rank stick. For this discussion, focus on SR and DR results.
Cropping the relevant ones for side by side from that:
That's CL12 vs CL14 - and the CL14 wins from those ranks.
Yes, tuned in RAM is faster - it's fantastic.
But the advantage of dual ranks definitely makes up for a lot of that ground
3600C14 SR 204FPS
There are oddities and outliers since these werent tested as extensively as a normal TPU review, i'm just sharing the knowledge that dual rank memory or 4 sticks while it can hurt max clock speeds, genuinely *is* a big performance boost on AM4
These tests are on ryzen 2000, the gains got bigger on Zen3 according to a lot of other reviews out there
GN covered it as well, with 10% gains on a 5600x
They ran their review setup 4x8 3200C14) as well as a bunch of other setups, i'll paste the relevant ones near each other since the visuals a mess without them
Their review setup 4x8 vs 2x8
15FPS drop from removing two sticks, no other changes.
3800 C18 (yay it's me)
11FPS
Clearly, the tuned great timings ram is faster - but average speed with four ranks, is going to beat tuned two ranks
They show this in their more confusing all together graph, where looking at all the bottom results - they're all x2 sticks/ranks on the memory
The worst performing setup (sigh, closest to mine) beat the best performing, as long as they had the extra memory ranks
