I guess this is a way to get around the MHZ drop in speed when you use 4 sticks of DDR 5 ram?

Who invented these uneven sizes? For decades you could buy 2^x MB or GB of RAM, therefore it was easy to spot the cheapo machines with say two sticks of RAM and 6GB total (=no dual channel, 1x 4GB, 1x 2GB).
Now you can have 96GB RAM and it isn't clear at what config ... 2x 48GB or just a cheapo with 1x 64GB and 1x 32GB?
Wht complicate what was easy for years? Is there any good reason to go for these DIMM sizes?

Cost. If you don't need 64GB but 32 is kinda cutting it close, you get 48GB instead. Ditto for 96GB vs 128GB. This becomes more and more useful as RAM sizes go up.

I'd buy a 2x12g kit. 32G is a waste when I haven't personally encountered anything that needs more than 16GB. I remember 8G was struggling in 2015 but 16GB seems to be a sweet spot for ram configurations. Haven't really seen any more of my 16GB utilized since 2015 when I upgraded. It was ~10-15G for games then, it is now, at least for normal people, who don't count unpatched ram leaks as "new industry standard".
