Given the "sweet spot" for the 7000 series is 6000 does DDR5-7200 add much performance?

They would, that's a huge chunk of speed increase, about 15% of speed increase.

Now, if you mean for gaming, that would have to be tested, but bandwidth-wise, for work number-crunching and transferring things around, an absolute godsend.

Yeah, dual-channel for compute-heavy multithreaded workloads always seemed like a stretch. Depends on what kind of workload, though.

Back when ThreadRipper Pro launched, Anandtech compared the Pro (8-channels, lower clocks) and non-Pro (4-channels, higher clocks) and found the extra memory bandwidth definitely helped on some workloads, but others were affected more by clock speed. It's too bad they didn't try both CPUs at the same clock speed and power limits. Most benchmarks were closer than I would've expected, but there were some significant outliers.
