> wins in tests that can take advantage of its DDR5-8000 memory support

For now it supports up to DDR5-6400 [1]. Still it is better than only DDR5-5600 by Zen5 [2].

The official specifications are more conservative than what is possible with memory overclock profiles like Intel XMP and AMD EXPO. The Phoenix tests show 285K at both DDR5-6400 and DDR5-8000. It is possible to go higher than the official 5600 MT/s with Zen 5 as well, but there is less headroom, with 6400 MT/s being the limit according to TPU [1].
