No b-die, no buy. Sad but true 😛 Micron 5000mhz is like samsung b-die 4000mhz in performance LOL

5000 = 5000, 4000 = 4000 5000 is 25% higher than 4000

that is like say 4ghz from Intel is same 4ghz Amd which isnt true

haha 4ghz is 4ghz irrespective of vendor. and he is correct, 25% increase in frequency does yield higher performance with cpu intensive applications (regardless of latency) otherwise they wouldn't make it. Can we please stop assuming there is no benefit.

4ghz on intel architecture and 4ghz on amd architecture does not equate the same performance just mean same speeds the architecture plays big role if not bigger role then just speed. I not saying 4ghz is slow then 5ghz

While technically true, a lot more goes into determining performance differences. The main reason for Sammy B-die being great is the lower latency for each respective read. So while they may be clocked at the same rate, the micron dies take more clock cycles to perform an action compared to the B-die.

No it isn't, as memory architecture is same.

Non-oc Micron E-die memory cost nearly twice as cheap as Samsung B-die, yet overclocks around same.
