Single-channel RAM vs dual-channel RAM for Ryzen 5 5600G: Dual-channel is essential for playable performance

Dual-channel RAM doubles memory bandwidth, which directly boosts iGPU frame rates by 50-100% compared to single-channel. The 5600G’s integrated graphics starves on single-channel, and 16GB dual-channel also prevents memory bottlenecks from Windows and the APU sharing system RAM. It’s the difference between smooth gameplay and a stuttery mess.
