This part # is CMW32GX4M2D3600C18
From elsewhere on the interwebs:
The numbers take the for "ver X.YZ" where;
X is IC maker - 3 for Micron, 4 for Samsung, 5 for Hynix, and presumably 8 for Nanya as with DDR3
Y seems to be capacity per rank - 1 for 2GB, 2 for 4GB, 3 for 8GB. Usually this translates directly to IC density (8GB/rank = 8Gbit), but ver 4.14 which uses half as many double-width "x16" 4Gbit chips is a special case.
Z is revision, usually starting from A=0 and usually counting up one letter per increment. Hynix's first revisions are lettered "M" which is numbered as X.Y9, samsung now do this too and it will presumably be the same.
So, in summary, NOT b-die
There is also something known as a RAM disk...it's involved to explain but basically incredibly fast local storage that increases performance for certain tasks.
Some workloads, time is money, and the best hardware means time and money savings, in very tangible daily terms.

I just upgraded from a 3700x to 5800x3d but using the default XMP profile. That upgrade didn't do a lot for me and I wonder if it's my RAM.

Most times the PC uses 20-24 GB of RAM while exporting huge photos and video files. I did see it spike to 34-35GB once so it was cool seeing and knowing my rig could handle that.
