Hilariuosly bad latency for clocks involved on Z590.
Compare to the following i've already posted from same forum, at more reasonable mem clocks:

Gear mode seems to be different in these images and Z590 vs Z490. But 12ns of extra latency??? Full retard mode for engineers involved in this disgrace of a product launch.
I don't care what,where and why, these guys have set up RocketLake for a failure. Your average web/youtube reviewer won't really bother with BIOS settings, they will proceed to test at DDR4 3200 XMP, and boom, AMD like latency with half the L3 cache will hurt gaming performance bad and give chip bad reputation.
