Does Intel vs AMD RAM matter?

There is no AMD or Intel “compatible” RAM. RAM is RAM. It’s either compatible with the standard of your motherboard and CPU, or it’s not.

Can AMD RAM be used on Intel?

This specific memory uses memory chip architecture which is not recognized by most Intel memory controllers. This memory should be OK on AMD based systems as their memory controllers recognize this particular memory chip architecture. So this memory is unlikely to work in an Intel based system.

Does AMD require special RAM?

Processors are unlikely to complain about RAM sticks, even AMD processors just tell you “any ram with ddr4 up to this frequency”, so not much. Go for dual channel though, and always aim for high frequencies, as Ryzen processors are efficient in taking advantage of extra RAM frequency.

What RAM is compatible for AMD?

DDR4-3200 is compatible across most Threadripper processor models and memory configurations, but AMD recommends only DDR4-2933 for second-gen Ryzen Threadrippers and DDR4-2666 for first-gen Ryzen Threadrippers.

Is there such a thing as Intel RAM and AMD Ram?

Or if this will cause a conflict with hardware. No there is really no such thing as Intel ram and AMD ram. It depends on if the two computers use the same memory type. A new computer uses DDR2 while an older computer would use DDR1 and an even older computer would use SDRAM.

Can I use a different type of RAM with different CPU?

Just use the same type of RAM that you are using… RAM works the same no matter what kind of CPU you have. As long as the motherboard has the right slots to match your RAM, it will work. Not open for further replies.

What is RAM and how does it affect my computer?

RAM allows the computer to do more; The speed at which it can operate these ‘more’ processes is the speed of your CPU (processor).

Does it matter if I buy an Intel or AMD processor?

If you’re buying Intel it doesn’t matter, it’ll work just fine. AMD CPUs have more picky memory controllers so you can hit higher speeds with some memory kits… though it doesn’t necessarily follow the branding of “made for AMD” anyway. So it’s mostly just marketing.
