Now that we have benchmarked this memory in its stock configuration and performed some overclocking as well, it is time to put everything into perspective. We will go over which platform this memory kit is best suited for, what Team Group could improve upon to make future products better, and finish up on a positive note.

To start off, let's talk about compatibility because it is often one of the first questions asked in regard to system memory. We will first cover Intel, as this is quite easy. Despite EXPO memory profiles being created by AMD and marketed strictly for the AMD Ryzen CPU, they do in fact work with Intel systems. One of the biggest complaints is that this memory kit only has a single "overclock" profile. That profile is the new EXPO (Extended Profiles for Overclocking) created by AMD, which is also an open standard that can be implemented into Intel motherboards too. This is designed to rival Intel's XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) which has been the only option and industry standard since its introduction in 2007. Because EXPO is so new, Intel motherboards will generally need a BIOS update for support. If one motherboard happens not to have support, only the default DDR5-5200 JEDEC profile will be available. While the Team Group T-Force DELTA α series is strictly marketed towards AMD users, it is always nice to have a second profile as well. Dual profiles with multiple frequencies are possible and have already been implemented with some Neo Forza, Kingston Fury and Manta XPrism DDR5 memory kits.

With that covered, it's time to place the focus back on AMD and why DDR5-6000 is an excellent choice to get the most performance out of that new computer. As covered in the overclocking section of this review, the ideal configuration is to keep the system memory and CPU memory in sync. ie 1:1 ratio. When making comparisons to the previous Ryzen platform (AM4), these new Ryzen 7000 series CPU take a different approach when it comes to the CPU Infinity Fabric. Getting a bit technical for a moment, previously using DDR4, the best configuration was a 1:1:1 Ratio (FCLK:UCLK:MCLK). Now that the AM5 platform uses DDR5, Infinity Fabric is a static 2000 MHz value by default, regardless of the memory speed, while the CPU memory controller is still synced with the system memory. AMD has dubbed DDR5-6000 the "Sweet Spot," which can be misleading, as it really only applies to two single ranked DIMMs (2x 16 GB / 2x 24 GB) for the current Ryzen 7000 series. Because this is AMD's first implementation of DDR5, there are certainly bugs to be ironed out, like the CPU Meltdown fiasco. Therefore, it would have been appreciated if Team Group added a second memory profile. Patriot, Neo Forza and Kingston already have this. It makes little sense not to include a lower memory profile for more compatibility across different motherboards.

However, despite lacking an extra layer of compatibility, DDR5-6000 is still the ideal target for AMD users. DDR5-6200 and above are less than ideal due to a higher chance of being unstable or simply not working. At this point in time, it's safe to say that for the Ryzen 7000 series, anything above DDR5-6000 can cause a lot of headaches with stability issues, or the system just not booting at all. In fact, there is a good argument against going above DDR5-6000 because of the increase in cost, especially when the graphics card is the overall limiting factor.

To recap the Frametime Analysis section of this review, pitting two DDR5-6000 memory kits against each other, showed that AMD CPUs are sensitive to the overall memory timings. Gaining an average of 10 FPS isn't bad an all. Out of context, it can be misleading. Depending on the graphical settings, only minor gains in the overall frame rate will be seen. Often, large frame rate gains can be accomplished simply by using a faster processor or upgrading the graphics card to something more powerful. Only when your system is CPU limited will system memory play a vital role in higher frame rates in games. This cycle will continue as more powerful graphic cards enter the market, increasing frame rates and causing a noticeable performance gap between different memory frequencies. However, those who are not competitive gamers chasing every single frame will be unlikely to ever notice a difference at max graphical settings between 5600 MT/s and 6000 MT/s, or slight changes in the primary timings.

This is where the Team Group T-Force DELTA α RGB DDR5-6000 kit comes back into the conversation. Not only is it ideal for gamers that want every bit of performance out of their system, but it is also a memory kit designed for AMD users. The AM5 platform is still in its infancy, and buying a memory kit specifically for AMD, does have its hidden benefits, too. This T-Force DELTA α series has lower voltage requirements for the EXPO profiles compared to its Intel counterpart. It comes with a lifetime warranty, too. While the "sweet spot," it's not quite universally Plug and Play for all AMD motherboards, as is the case for DDR5-5600. Maybe in the future we can see Team Group include more EXPO profiles for even higher compatibility among AMD systems. This Team Group T-Force DELTA α RGB DDR5-6000 memory kit may not have enthusiast grade timings and overall could do some things better, however, if the price is right, it is still worth a recommendation for that next AMD based computer.
