This. Wow... I hadn't noticed. It's not like performance will change much, but yeah, running BELOW platform spec isn't doing the platform justice. Wow...
I mean a potato would work at those speeds on either platform. It isn't testing much and leaving a bit of performance that EVERYONE would have on the table.. yikes... yikes.
JEDEC are simple specs/standards for the memory. It has nothing to do with the platform...just the base specs for the RAM and for compatibility. As far as the IC's under rated lower and anything above that overclocking... that is false. When I buy sticks of RAM, on the box it is rated to run at XXXX MHz, period. For 9900k, anything over 2666 is considered overclocking the IMC (not the sticks). For Zen 2, anything over 3200 MHz would be overclocking its IMC. You are only overclocking the RAM if you are going over what is rated on the box. Don't worry about JEDEC.
If brands want to show products in the best possible light, they should provide the supporting hardware. I mean I know its different here on TPU because of the global spread of staff, but... you know what going on and YOU complaining about it seems.... hilarious.
