The Tech Lounge #020 - Ryzen Memory Speeds & Gaming, X399 from AMD? Competing with 299?

Welcome back to Episode 20 of the Tech lounge and today we (joined by Kevin from Tech Showdown - Channel link - www.youtube.com/c/techshowdown) start off the episode talk about Ryzen and DDR4 memory speeds, lots of people (including myself) have spoken of gains with DDR4 memory and R7 CPUs, and of course on the x370 motherboards. Though the other interesting fact is that there is only the option for 1T Timings on the memory which makes it hard for the average set of DDR4 memory to go high on AM4 regardless of whether you have the latest bios or not.
