I never noticed much of a differnce on any of them for speed. Once you have enough bandwidth more does not help, only latencies. it is usually easier to get tighter than it is faster IME to lower them.

Even with AMD higher speed helps if you NB speed is high enough. I think the NB bottlenecks your mem bandwith untill its double the speed of the ram or something like that. Its been a while, but that sounds right.
I did a comparison a while back, and there was much of a difference with the timings or speed untill I upped the NB to 2600 to ease up on the bottleneck. Fastest Spi32 I got was 1600Mhz 6-6-6-18 with NB at 2600.
