Was looking at Piledriver info for the FX-8300 and FX-8350 CPUs that I have and noticed that it lists DDR3-1866 as spec for both FX-8000 series CPUs. Both of these systems are running on 8GB and 16GB of DDR3-1600. Is it worth it at all to upgrade to DDR3-1866 for that extra 266Mhz?
Looking online I didnt find any benchmark comparisons between the 1600Mhz and 1866Mhz RAM. My guess is that its probably not worth buying 1866Mhz RAM, but curious if I am bottlenecking my 8-core systems with the 1600Mhz RAM now or if the CPUs are pretty much running at peak performance at 1600Mhz because of the older core design of the Piledriver architecture?
The 266Mhz difference comes out to 14.25% frequency difference between them, but not sure if that will exactly be 14.25% better performance or not.
