They can happily patch the "feature" out again. It is a "feature" that adjusts the RAM and its behavior so that it performs slightly better in a (completely inadequate) RAM benchmark (AIDA), but significantly worse in real-world applications and gaming.
Der Latency Killer soll die Leistung verbessern, doch stimmt das überhaupt? Wir testen mit 19 Benchmarks und Ryzen 7 9800X3D!

Hi guys, I wasn't concern about this old post, read it time ago, coz I know already why Latency Killer is not doing a great job for xD Vcache architecture, what is this article refers about, and not about Xseries cpu, precisely what is Latency Killer does is not an Aida bug or adjusts RAM behavior.
Latency Killer switches off advanced prefetchers and cache retention polices, so then AIDA64 shows lower latency.
Also it's well-known you may find in games and applications it has no benefit for you.
Same story if you have ASUS, it's called "Core Tuning Configuration For Gaming".
Legacy = All advanced prefetchers and cache retention polices disabled.
Level 1 = Maybe some prefetchers and cache retention polices enabled.
Level 2 = All advanced prefetchers and cache retention polices all enabled.
Auto = Level 2 on ASUS.
So let's say Even for now, we can call Asus=MSI in prefetchers retention scenario.
But still, I really like to keep my short Aida latency 'ns in Killer Enabled mode, also for 1440p gaming session, it won't hurt my little fellow junior Xseries 6cores, cheers!
