Memory running below its rated frequency and memory in single channel are different findings. The first is about the kit’s profile; the second is about the physical layout of the sticks. With integrated graphics, the GPU shares bandwidth with the system, so the layout can matter a lot more.
Turning on XMP or EXPO is a firmware change you make in the BIOS/UEFI. It can raise performance in CPU- or memory-limited scenarios, but it also depends on the motherboard, the memory controller, the kit and stability. Rise doesn’t pretend a manual recommendation was applied.
The right test compares the same scene with the previous profile and the new one, keeping power, resolution and cap the same. Log average FPS, 1% low, frametime, temperature and any error signs. If things get unstable, revert the profile before looking for another optimization.
Instead of publishing a gain range as a promise, Rise uses the finding to prioritize the investigation: detected state, recommended action, risk and how to validate it.
