On Zen 4, running UCLK and FCLK at the same frequency provides no memory latency reduction.

This is incorrect, it's a very substantial latency step reduction and offers ideal performance in certain workloads. 8000/2000/2000 tests lower latency than 8000/2000/2200 and around 4ns lower than 8000/2000/2033.

There's even a flag in ryzen master which shows if uclk=fclk sync mode is active or not.

Phoenix 2 has zen4c and is releasing on AM5

AGESA 1080 included fclk improvements which increased the max stable FCLK for many users. On my 7950x3d the maximum stable FCLK went from 2133 to 2200.

Not just non-RTX. All non 4000-series owners. FSR 3 has the potential to prolong the life of the 20 and 30-series. The RTX 3080 and 3090 may well increase in value when FSR 3 starts being delivered.

FSR framegen breaks both DLSS and Reflex, replacing DLSS with a much worse alternative and offering no replacement to Reflex even on AMD cards - a non-negotiable core feature for GPU-bound gaming which only becomes more mandatory with added latency from frame gen.

There is no game where i would turn FSR framegen on because it means either giving up those features or not having them present to begin with on a GPU-heavy game, which is not a good experience.

I wouldn't put FSR3 in my game even if it was easy - it's a lot of dev work laid out for what is essentially an alpha feature which certainly has a lot of issues that may be mistaken as bugs in your game or issues that are your fault from the 99% of users who don't know every single quirk. It is absolutely not a "press button and have better experience" feature - it has tons of potential to ruin your gameplay and people might not understand how so or why.

Beta refers to feature complete, and features like VRR support are critical.

FSR3.2 or something if and when it works properly, yes people should jump on that.
