Ryzen has already almost and in some made up it's 1080p gaming deficit and will only get better. Ryzen and gaming are all about fast memory . The way Ryzen works a couple of other clocks are directly tied to the memory speed one of them being the HT link/south bridge and has a direct effect on gaming. Most review sites either didn't have the support or bother taking the time to tune memory and just ran it between 2133 and 2400. That has a big negative effect cause it slows other clocks down also. Anyway look at the link 3-4 different sites saying going from 2400 to 3200 mem speed with Ryzen gets you 10-15% in 1080p gaming.Gskill has a Ryzen certified 3488 kit coming soon bet that thing will make Ryzen sing.

I checked the overclock link and they gave as 'proof' the performance scaling of RyZen on GB3 and ARMA3. What they don't say is that non-RyZen chips also scale in those benches. Skylake gets a 25% increase in framerates when going from 2133 to 3000 mem

The GB3 single core only increased by 9% on Ryzen when going from 2133 to 3466. GB single thread score changes by 3% on non-Ryzen chips with a 3000 --> 3600 overclock
