yes that's true that difference is negligible, but then, what is the xmp profile given for ?
i think xmp is xtreme memory profile and the way it works is by almost auto tuning the memory to work at different speeds and timings for optimization but i think some boards had some trouble with that. The xmp working with some kind of tubo frequency that some motherboards had cause the cpu to run faster and hotter then needed.
But YEAh XMP is just a profile to get the memory running at its optimum and when it is not on memory might not run quite as fast as it should but i doubt anyone would notice a real difference.
