Breakthrough DDR5 XMP 8000 with the Latest BIOS on Gigabyte X670 & B650 Motherboards
GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd, a leading manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards, and hardware solutions, proudly announced the ultimate memory performance of DDR5 XMP 8000 is achieved with the X670E AORUS MASTER motherboard based on the latest AMD AGESA BIOS code at a SOC voltage of 1.3 V.
GIGABYTE always works closely with AMD to ensure our motherboard designs provide supreme performance and reliability, particularly on the optimum memory performance by exclusively advanced memory layout design. Meanwhile, GIGABYTE is releasing a new beta BIOS for the X670 and B650 AORUS/AERO series motherboards for the most remarkable memory performance on the AM5 platform. The new BIOS will be available at the end of July in succession. Please pay close attention to the GIGABYTE website to download the update for optimal performance.

Curious to see where the new "sweet spot" lands for Zen 4.

Hopefully @ir_cow later adds credibility to these reports.
I am pretty sure these are not the last CPUs on this platform. ;)
FCLK is the infinityt fabric clock which is desync on Zen4. UCLK is IMC clock which is usually 1:1 with MCLK (the IO clock of the memory half of its data rate).
So yes the Zen4 has been running the equivlent of Gear 1 the whole time with the UCLK / IMC clocking to 3000Mhz on DDR5 6000.
On Intel there isn't even the option of running Gear 1 on DDR5. It defaults to Gear 2 and auto switch to Gear 4 at very high data rates.
Biggest thing that stands out to me is better motherboard designs and optimization along with better and more affordable memory kits are available today. I mean why wouldn't things be a bit better now realistically if there has been inroad improvements to memory and motherboard support as we well cost considerations? I can't really fault AMD/INTEL not officially supporting the most outlandishly early binned memory kits and MB designs when some of these architectures were more new and recent.
If you look at anything launching now however you're expectations are going to be a bit higher probably compared to when DDR5 was more in it's earlier infancy. It's a bit beyond that very early adoption phase now even though it's still relatively newish.
I saw that on ZEN3 seen some people in my country that got custom builds with the Ryzen 9 5950X cpu's with 32GB at 3600MT/s memory in they finish testing before the were shipped out and passed memory and stability test but not a week after there were issues booting and running memory at 2966MT/s fixed the issue and testing with other memor didn't make a difference the mem controller was degraded.
