Ask him, if only two memory channels are enough to feed 8 cores with data. Thuban stopps scaling at 4 cores and beyond. (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...ng,2652-4.html , last table)

I guess it's okay, since situations where memory bandwidth saturation might happen are rather uncommon. And a 980X saturates pretty fast too. (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...ng,2663-4.html , last table).

Been wondering nevertheless.
