One of the difficulties of modern day processor reviews is testing memory - AMD and Intel support very different memory speeds, and so it begs the question as to what speed should we be testing at. Should we be testing the CPU at the same memory speed? Is this fair? Isn't this technically an overclock? Or should we be testing at the manufacturer rated speeds. Why is Intel's DDR4 ratings lower than AMD, anyway?
