dozens upon dozens of memory brands, there are ultimately only a few memory manufacturers, and Samsung is one of them.<\/p>\n<p>All of the die designs come from this tier of manufacturers, and these dies include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Samsung A-Die<\/li>\n<li>Samsung E-Die<\/li>\n<li>Samsung B-Die<\/li>\n<li>Hynix CJR Die<\/li>\n<li>Hynic DJR Die<\/li>\n<li>Micron Rev.

A \/ Micron A-Die<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For the most part, though, you won\u2019t really hear about those other Dies.<\/p>\n<p>This is because Samsung B-Dies are specifically known for performing well with AMD Ryzen processors, making them a preferred pick for a sizable chunk of the market.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll dive into the why and how below.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Makes_Samsung_B-Die_Different_From_Other_Memory_Dies\"><\/span>What Makes Samsung B-Die Different From Other Memory Dies?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The most distinguishing quality of Samsung B-Die DDR4 Memory Kits is their ability to achieve speeds of 3200 MHz or higher while still maintaining a CAS Latency of 14.<\/p>\n<p>This makes them particularly good for achieving high performance with AMD Ryzen CPUs, but also sets them apart as speedy and low-latency Memory Kits in general.<\/p>\n<p>So if your RAM is manufactured from a Samsung B-Die process, you\u2019ll most likely be able to achieve higher clock speeds and faster overall performance...on Ryzen.<\/p>\n<p>The difference isn\u2019t nearly as pronounced on Intel (more on that below), though B-Die Memory can still be a great purchase for an Intel system, especially if the price is right.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Does_Samsung_B-Die_Work_With_Ryzen\"><\/span>Why Does Samsung B-Die Work With Ryzen?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>All that being said, <em>why<\/em> does Samsung B-Die work so well with Ryzen, anyway?<\/p>\n<p>In this case, the secret is actually Ryzen CPUs themselves.<\/p>\n<p>While it took a few generations for AMD to get really competitive with Ryzen CPUs in single-core performance, a consistent strength of Ryzen CPUs has been their multi-core performance. (This was even a strength of past AMD CPUs.) Part of this is enabled by the Infinity Fabric architecture used by the Zen architecture and its successors.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14375\" src=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/11\/Does-RAM-Speed-Impact-AMD-Ryzen-Performance.jpg\" alt=\"Does RAM Speed Impact AMD Ryzen Performance\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/11\/Does-RAM-Speed-Impact-AMD-Ryzen-Performance.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/11\/Does-RAM-Speed-Impact-AMD-Ryzen-Performance-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/11\/Does-RAM-Speed-Impact-AMD-Ryzen-Performance-1024x540.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/11\/Does-RAM-Speed-Impact-AMD-Ryzen-Performance-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/11\/Does-RAM-Speed-Impact-AMD-Ryzen-Performance-1536x810.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14375 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%202048%201080%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Does RAM Speed Impact AMD Ryzen Performance\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%202048%201080%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/11\/Does-RAM-Speed-Impact-AMD-Ryzen-Performance.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/11\/Does-RAM-Speed-Impact-AMD-Ryzen-Performance-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/11\/Does-RAM-Speed-Impact-AMD-Ryzen-Performance-1024x540.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/11\/Does-RAM-Speed-Impact-AMD-Ryzen-Performance-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/11\/Does-RAM-Speed-Impact-AMD-Ryzen-Performance-1536x810.jpg 1536w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/11\/Does-RAM-Speed-Impact-AMD-Ryzen-Performance.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The Infinity Fabric present in modern AMD CPUs makes AMD CPUs more reliant on fast RAM to reach their full potential than Intel CPUs.<\/p>\n<p>The commonality of DDR4 RAM at 3200 MHz and higher on the market has made it a lot easier to be a Ryzen CPU user than it was some years ago, but you can still get a better experience by seeking out high-end memory.<\/p>\n<p>Infinity Fabric is such an integral part of AMD\u2019s CPU architecture that it\u2019s actually something you can overclock for yourself alongside other components, and this is where having high-speed, low-latency memory will benefit you the most on AMD.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung B-Die RAM is particularly successful in this regard because its high power capacity design when compared to most other RAM allows it to reach higher frequencies at lower latencies.<\/p>\n<p>3200 MHz was the most popular choice for B-Die RAM when it first reached popularity, but in later years 3600 MHz and even 4000 MHz B-Die RAM has become more popular with faster CPUs from AMD.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_To_Find_Samsung_B-Die_RAM_Our_Recommendations\"><\/span>Where To Find Samsung B-Die RAM &amp;
