From ExtremeTech: A new teaser image of AMD's upcoming 9850X3D CPU has appeared on a Chinese social media platform, showing the chip operating at 5.3 GHz (rather than the 5.6 GHz in its specifications) with extremely high-speed memory: 9,800MHz, TechPowerUp reports. This is well above the official 5,600MHz supported by AMD's current 9800X3D, suggesting AMD's refreshed gaming king could support new CUDIMM standards.
Or it could just be some troll post. Chalk this one up as speculative, at best.
But what speculation it is. AMD's current memory configurations on its top chips are far behind those supported by Intel, which can go over 8,000MHz thanks to its support of new CUDIMM standards. AMD chips, however, struggle with higher memory speeds over 6,000MHz, as it involves uncoupling the Infinity Fabric clock, and then you're in the realm of complicated ratios trying to find the best performance in the real world.
