Ryzen 5000 memory layout - 2x8GB vs 4x8GB vs 2x16GB - Single Rank vs Dual rank?

interweaving

I’d like to correct you here, it’s “interleaving”.

I would immediately assume that GN’s observation meaning that Dual Rank memory would be faster that single rank. but I also realized that its normally the opposite.

According to much of buildzoids testing it seems that was kinda already the case with Zen 2, although he never tested it in games.
I’m going to link to one of the videos he made about that:

Testing XMP settings in dual and single rank.

Since we haven’t seen any config benchmarks with 2x16GB DIMMs yet I would suggest either waiting a little bit or go with 4x8GB since that one was tested.
