Benchmarks: Memory

AMD uses faster default memory - 2,933MHz vs. 2,666MHz or 2,400MHz, but we'd call the first three benchmarks a tie.

Remember how the company said it has reduced the overall memory latency in Zen+? External memory latency will always go down as memory speed is increased, even if timings are kept the same, however the 10ns drop is significant and underscores the tweaks AMD spoke about.

Not shown here but worth mentioning, Ryzen 7 2700X's L1, L2 and L3 cache latencies are benchmarked at 0.9ns, 2.8ns and 8.9ns, respectively. Ryzen 7 1800X comes in at 1.0ns, 4.3ns, and 11.2ns. These numbers corroborate AMD's latency-reduction claims.
