Difference between AMD-optimized RAM and Intel-optimized RAM

Hello, I saw that some RAM is optimized for AMD and I have an Intel, I would like to know what the difference is. Moreover, I found two RAM with the same specs but one is optimized for Intel and the other for AMD! So I'd like to know if I choose the one optimized for AMD, will I be losing a lot or not? Here it is!

The two RAMs:

    Hello,
    it's just a matter of compatibility, as Ryzen is more sensitive to RAM and AMD crushes Intel in processors, there is now an AMD optimization.

    Intel optimization doesn't really exist, just avoid putting AMD optimized RAM on Intel ^^

    Non-AMD optimized RAM can work perfectly fine (like Corsair Vengeance LPX for example), but preferably if you have an AMD, get AMD optimized RAM.

      Hello, I bought some Corsair DDR5 RAM with Intel XMP. Will it work with my R7 7800X3D or do I need to buy another one?

    Hi, if you have an AMD processor, get RAM optimized for AMD, and if you have an Intel processor, get RAM optimized for Intel; it's as simple as that. If you use AMD optimized RAM on Intel, I think you won't be able to fully exploit its potential, hence the optimization for AMD.
