Spelling mistake: "AMD as well as third-party observers sayd that the Ryzen 3000 processors show the highest memory subsystem performance when frequencies..." Should be "said", not "sayd". "AMD as well as third-party observers said that the Ryzen 3000 processors show the highest memory subsystem performance when frequencies..."
Timetech sells a 16GB DDR4 kit for $60 on Amazon. About 3 months ago, I bought an 8GB SODIMM for my laptop for $35, also off Amazon. Yes, that memory is all slower, but I suspect that buying this RAM at 16.4 times the price will not reward a desktop PC user with 16.4 times the memory performance or anywhere close to 16.4 times the overall system performance. It'd be generous to estimate an overall 10% performance uplift given otherwise equal components.
I'm really sorry but I disagree with your closing stanza. The IF must run 1:1 with RAM. Cool. At 1800-2000 all IF cop-out. So at 3600MHz - 4000 MHz, the RAM is lined up well.
If going above 4000 MHz on RAM (well some IFs can quit at even 3600 MHz RAM 1:1), one must drop IF:RAM to 1:2 ), and to recover high IF speeds, one must look at >5MHz RAM. \
A guaranteed 4866 means it'll do well OC'ing in theory. Thus getting the IF clock back up to a point where the increased RAM freq and the improved (over stock) IF freq is *quite* desirable.
Still very happy with my 3200CL14 ones that I bought 2015. I just wish I would have bought 32 GB instead of 16, because then I would be able to use them in my next PC too.
I run my by spec 3200 CL 16 18-18-20-36-620-34 1.35v @ 3600 CL18 20-20-20-38-460-36 1.345v
(was also able to tighten my PROCodt among other things, I consistent above/between 3800/3900 spec in all but ofc over 12 threads and vs 3900 as it has higher cap on single core vs my 3600 non x... love the gammaxx 400 with a 2nd fan on it ^.^
Hmm. $984 for a 16 GB kit. I Paid $620 for a 128 GB kit. Apples to Orange comparison and not many people do what I do but just throwing it out there. Also just bought a Corsair Vengeance 16 GB CL18 3600 for $79, just saying.

Thanks for the article.

yeah I had a suspicion just by reading the title that both of these kits are not value oriented but thanks for confirming. lolPeachNCream - Sunday, September 15, 2019 - link
I'm genuinely shocked that you needed me to lead you to that conclusion, but I guess there are all sorts on the Internet so you're welcome.Skeptical123 - Tuesday, September 17, 2019 - link
Lol you again... Honestly can you hear yourself?Oliseo - Sunday, September 15, 2019 - link
That $3 2lb bag of mince isn't as good as the $50 steak.Thanks for clearing that up.

Well, maybe not for games.

I think there is also latency issues incurred with crossing clock domains, even if the clocks are 1:2. Could be wrong, though.Beaver M. - Saturday, September 14, 2019 - link
