AMD Ryzen 7000 Gaming Benchmarks With Latest BIOS Show No Performance Difference Between DDR5-6200 & DDR5-7400

wccftech.com:

The first gaming performance benchmarks of AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs with the latest AM5 BIOS that improve memory performance and support have been published by Quasarzone & the results may look a bit underwhelming.

The folks over at Quasarzone were quick to test out the difference in performance with higher-speed memory that is now enabled thanks to the latest AGESA 1.0.0.7b BIOS. This new BIOS is being teased to offer clock speeds north of DDR5-8000 and even beyond DDR5-9000 and while these numbers look amazing, we have to see if the higher speeds make any difference in real applications.

For this demonstration, the tech outlet updated their ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-E Gaming WIFI to the latest 1514 BETA BIOS which is based on the AGESA 1.0.0.7b firmware. For memory, a pair of KLEVV DDR5 (16 GB x 2) DIMMs were used and run in two configurations, DDR5-6200 (CL30-36-32-66) in a 1:1 mode and DDR5-7400 (CL34-46-44-80) in a 1:2 mode. The platform was tested with both AMD's Ryzen 9 7950X and the Ryzen 7 7800X3D V-Cache chips.

First up, it was seen that the new BIOS immediately supports DDR5-7400 frequencies which wasn't the case with the AGESA 1.0.0.7a firmware. It's nice to finally get the EXPO profiles running on AM5 at the speeds they were originally intended to run at. Moving over to the benchmarks, a range of games were tested at 1080P but the results show that on both chips, the higher frequency memory resulted in no performance improvement versus the lower frequency memory.
