I see your points now, thank you for the illustration of latencies!

Thank you for the kind and detailed explanation. I agree with your assessments. From a financial point of view, saving a few dollars of electricity cost may not worth the trouble of UV/UC, etc. For gaming and general PC users, 13900K+DDR5 won't bring much FPS gain when compared to 12700K DDR4...

Appreciate this straight answer. Very true, the v-cache probably won't have much effect on workstation workloads. I was actually hoping that the v-cache CPUs also conveniently come with upgraded memory controllers that goes beyond 3600MT/s for 4-DIMMs. When you say "slower than DDR4-3200", I...

Thanks you for the reply. About 1), I understand that when using 4 DIMMs reduces speed, what I am confused about is whether the speed specification is per-DIMM or per-Channel. If the spec is per-DIMM, then the total transfer rate is 4x3600; as oppose to per-Channel 2x3600.

Planning on building a workstation with 128GB DDR5, can't decide whether to go Intel, or AMD, or wait for Zen4 v-cache. Please advice: Q1: I am a bit confused with 7950x's memory limitation. According to the spec, in the 2x2R configuration, max memory speed reduces from 5200MT/s to 3600MT/s...
