7614 MT/s on the RAM is a pretty large overclock for desktop DDR5.



There are 8000MT/s CUDIMMs for the new Intel Chips now...


They've been announced, within the past two weeks, and as far as I can tell aren't actually available for purchase from retailers yet: the only thing I've seen actually purchasable is Crucial's 6400MT/s CUDIMMs, and Newegg has an out-of-stock listing for a G.Skill kit rated for 9600MT/s.

The linked Geekbench result from August running at 7614 MT/s clearly wasn't using CUDIMMs; it was a highly-overclocked system running the memory almost 20% faster than the typical overclocked memory speeds available from reasonably-priced modules.


Geekbench is run pre-release by the manufacturers.


But by definition that means it’s not a production machine yet.

So it doesn’t invalidate Apple‘s chip being the fastest in single core for a production machine.


The post doesn't say anything about production machine. It talks about consumer computing.
