    The difference doesn’t necessarily come from the RAM itself, but that the best processors for gaming these days don’t support DDR4 anymore.

      There are some differences, but real world applications, especially in the gaming space, are minuscule. You do almost touch on another important point; it’s hard to get benchmarks because you’re not going to find a processor that was made for both. Basically a single gen of intel is all we get. FWIW that gen showed a roughly 5% performance on a typical game, and 10% on a known memory intensive game. That’s 3 frames at 60fps, or ~7 frames at 144, and this assumes you actually need that last bit of performance.
