Linus had an interesting stream where he discussed the discrepancy in performance numbers between reviewers. And he noted that the common denominator seems to be that the reviewers with lower performance scores for AMD were running only 3200mhz memory. Meanwhile LTT benchmarks used 3600mhz as the standard and concluded that the 5000 series is WAY better than Intel's best. So if you want top end performance out of the 5000 series you really should be using 3600mhz RAM as a minimum. Especially if you crave that 5-6% extra performance that actually has Zen3 beating out Intel's best chip in games and benchmarks.
Silly reviewers, 3200mhz favors Intel. When you have a Ferrari like a 5000x chip, you gotta let it breath with the fastest memory modules!! ;-)
