[citation][nom]blazorthon[/nom]There are many applications where increasing memory performance beyond DDR3-1866 with decent timings offers huge performance improvements. Please don't apply your ignorant over-generalizations of other workloads on the industry as a whole. For example, some things such as many AVX accelerated workloads improve performance almost linearly with linearly increased memory bandwidth. Compression/decompression, rendering, some folding, and more also benefit greatly from improved memory performance. Granted, most of these aren't workloads that the average person does a ton of, but that doesn't mean that they don't exist. A lot of people rely on them for varying reasons and even some jobs are based on them.[/citation]
I admit that I've been ignorant. I've seen many gaming benchmarks made with different frequencies of RAM and there was very little difference. In gaming, GPU or CPU usually bottlenecks the performance before the RAM does so I assumed it would be somewhat similar in most applications, which is a very false assumption. My bad.
