I'm talking overall systems use, not single BMs though in many they show gains also - using fast DRAM and higher channel mode shows most and best when using memory centric apps and multi-tasking things you don't often see in regular BMs. Euler is a decent BM for DRAM as it heavily uses DRAM, but also that is why I stated 'You can see up to a 10% gain' and not 'you will see', DRAM performance is heavily based on what you do and how you do it

I'm curious what data you've seen that supports that. Teh reason I state this is because I've been doing some research and I'm finding data that, while on certain task like professional work, you will see a benefit, but when talking about mainstream or gamers, you don't see the same benefit. This is the article I was referring to, plus his testing methodology:
