Intel i5-10600K Cache Ratio & RAM Overclock Beats 10900K: How Much Memory Matters

We overclocked the Intel i5-10600K Cache Ratio, the core, and the RAM in under an hour in order to match i9-10900K results from our review. This benchmark looks at whether RAM matters for Intel. Sponsor: MSI Z490I Unify Mini-ITX (Amazon ) Watch our Intel i5-10600K review here: In this video, we’re benchmarking the Intel Core i5-10600K with cache & memory tuning to see how much RAM matters on Intel, but also to see if we can equate a 10900K (on our standard bench platform -- see its specs in test methods content below) with under an hour of testing and validation. The Intel i5-10600K Ring clock (uncore or cache) is often overlooked in overclocking, so this testing helps illustrate the impact of a Cache ratio increase alongside core multiplier increases, all split-out from higher memory clocks. AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 3700X, and 3900X CPUs are included in the charts, but they’re not the topic for today. We’re focused just on the Intel vs. Intel impact
