About Ram speeds...and cpu..

[Goliath_1911]

I have seen in several sites that Ram speed does not matter on PCs running Intel cpus  (gaming wise), while on AMD higher ram speed gives a bit of a performance increase that can range between 10 ~ 30 fps.

We already know that in most cases (if am right ) Intel cpus push higher fps than their AMD counterpart , so does using higher ram speed put them on the same lvl fps wise? ( using the fps as a method of comparison cause it is the easiest way lol)

I game alot, i also may use my my new pc for programming later on in late 2019, was planning on a i5 8500 or 8600 , they are out of stock tho (maybe gonna wait for 9500 or try to switch some stuff for Amd ,  should i stick with intel and upgrade next year if they released something that runs on z390 and is actually much better than what we got the past 3 gens since AMD has entered the competition ?? ) 

thanks

I would say that difference between AMD and Intel is kinda negligible at this point in time. (Get 3000-3200Mhz RAM though)

 

I would still wait for Zen 2 (Ryzen 3) as it will be on a 7nm process, and I would expect really good improvements out of it.

The thing is my current pc is now about 8 years old, and it is time for a upgrade , currently running a 3rd gen i5 on ddr3 , i need to build a new system , and upgrade the cpu (only) later on if anything MUCH better is released ( price and spec wise) , otherwise i won`t be able to play some of the awesome upcoming games this year xd , i would have postponed it to late 2019 but i really want to play metro exodus and cyberpunk xd

u can't go wrong with zen 2 in 6 months, and ram speed does wonders for ryzen, if you manage to get a 3600 or 4000 compatible board, it will will be great, frame time gets so much better too compared to anything below 2666.

The only actual difference for Intel and RAM speeds I think is when you use 2133mhz, which is really slow in comparison to what can be done.

gonna have to wait a couple month either way  i already got the motherboard, was supposed to get the cpu at the begging of December , i5 went out of stock mid november ( in my country atleast??, shipping is not an option , a bit more expensive) was thinking of getting the 8th 4 core i3 for a while then upgrade, but it won`t be much of an upgrade vs the 3rd gen 4 core i5 

or trade the motherboard for something AMD
