180w to 85w is pretty impressive.

I didn't know that compilation was memory speed limited.

Are there any good benchmarks on it?

Anyone have any examples of getting faster memory boosting build speed?

Over the last few years I'd settled into thinking that high speed ram barely did anything. I guess I was wrong!

ryzen loves memory speed, more so than Intel. phoronix has benchmarks that you're looking for.

More specifically, the interprocessor interconnect (infinity fabric) system ryzen uses is tied to the RAM clock. Ryzen clumps there processosor in groups of 4, and uses infinity fabric as an interconnect between those; so I am not sure you will an effect larger then Intel on a quadcore ryzen.

Anything involving larger-than-cache sized graph walks will usually be memory limited, be it compilation or iterating an XML document
