Indeed, if you're bottlenecked on RAM, memory bandwidth itself will also be an issue (it seems to be the foremost bottleneck in modern compute, outside of single-threaded workloads. Part of why C-like languages are again becoming popular these days - they economize on memory-bandwidth per core). Might want to skip Ryzen 9 altogether and wait until the Threadripper parts are announced.
