Just more money to Intel and to Patriot.
The funny thing is, the AMD entertainment series ram is just rebranded Patriot gamer series ram. so essentially, Patriot is in a win win situation between the two because it gets free advertising.
... But it's Intel... It must be good!
I have AMD ram, cpu, cooler, and GPUs, and an AMD motherboard.... But my SSD is Intel. Now all I need is a VIA hard drive and I'll be as mixed up as it gets!
It's a different story when it comes to GPUs.
so are the timings apparently
All your rebates will be null and void.
The architecture has little to do with it. Intel's CPUs have both a far more efficient memory controller and much faster cache than AMD, especially the L3 cache. That is almsot assuredly why Intel is less reliant on memory performance in some applications. However, Intel CPUs can still benefit from it in some applications, especially stuff such as AVX accelerated workloads.
That depends on the application. Some still benefit from faster RAM. Some, such as AVX accelerated workloads, can actually improve almost linearly with linearly increase memory bandwidth.
