Fast, very fast!
But does it matter in real life?

I'd say it does. Intel pushes pretty crazy boost clocks (and the faster the cores are, the faster the memory needs to be) but it also means they can opt for smaller caches. A smaller cache means a smaller die, a lesser chance of a die having defects, which means a lower price and lower power consumption on the CPU package. Also, so long as the cache isn't a bottleneck on either end (CPU or RAM) then smaller tends to be faster. That's why AMD's c-cores are ideal: they're used on CPUs that aren't clocked very high, so they sacrifice cache for a physical size and wattage improvement.

Fast memory can be a game changer and legitimately increase IPC and overall performance. Although from my experience, frequency takes a backseat to timings, at least when it comes to gaming.
But if Arrow Lake can support those memory speeds, AMD had better watch out!

Its not native but overclocked speed. And overclocked speed is not guaranteed......
