The upcoming 7nm AMD Ryzen 3000-series processors based on the Zen 2 architecture will be able to work with DDR4-3200 memory modules right out of the box, without additional overclocking. About it initially resource , who received information from one of the motherboard manufacturers, and then it was confirmed by a well-known source of leaks with a pseudonym .
AMD improves memory support with every generation of Ryzen processors. The first chips based on the Zen architecture worked with DDR4-2666 memory without additional overclocking, the Zen + models that replaced them were already able to work out of the box with DDR4-2933 memory, and now the next generation of Ryzen is supported by DDR4-3200. Note that Intel Coffee Lake processors support DDR4-2666 memory by default, and overclocking is already required to work with faster modules.
By the way, Ryzen 3000 will not be the first AMD processors to support DDR4-3200 memory by default. The chips for embedded systems Ryzen Embedded V1756B and V1807B, built on the Zen + architecture, also have this ability.
Note that 3200 MHz is the highest frequency defined by the JEDEC standard for DDR4 memory. Anything above implies overclocking. And according to unconfirmed data, in overclocking, the new Ryzen 3000 processors will be able to work with DDR4 memory at a frequency of up to 4400-4600 MHz or even higher. Of course, everything will depend on the specific processor and memory module, and somewhere it will be possible to achieve higher frequencies, but somewhere not. Possibly featured in DDR4-5000 mode will be conquered by new AMD processors.
