8% are huge for something that was said to be of no relevance at all in that specific workload. And it is 8% for a small price difference. Ram prices are in flux currently, but right now I see 16GB DDR4-2400 for 119€ and 16GB DDR4-3000 for 139€. Some time ago the price was almost identical. Also, please watch the video as well. The practical effect of having faster ram on frametimes is immense and sometimes a lot bigger than what you'd expect. Moving from just barely reaching 60 FPS in the Crysis train sequence to comfortable 80, with an i3, is very nice. There is also the Ryse sequence (~ at minute 7) where performance of the i3 doubles, just because of the faster ram.
