I hear ya. All that [H]ard work for it all to become kinda mute with the new AGESA.
Everyone has to pick a moment, and the wait was long on AMD's end for anyone to do any testing. Maybe in a future test do a 3600Mhz RAM@4Ghz on a game or two to see what, if any, numbers change vs. this article. It would be a very welcomed follow up.
My opinion is that this will not affect GPU limited, real-world gaming situations (like we performed) to any great degree changing the playable gameplay experience. It might get you a few percent higher in very CPU limited/bound scenarios in multitasking content creation workloads and so forth, but in real-world gaming, as we have tested, I don't think it's going to be a "magical" boost in performance.
Typically memory bandwidth isn't something that greatly affects gaming performance past a certain point.
