Here's another site that found the same relationship between faster memory and better perf. in Fallout 4:

"Check out the sidebar concerning the impact of faster RAM: if you're running 1333MHz or 1666MHz DDR3, swapping that for 2400MHz RAM can make a substantial difference and definitely helps with your lowest frame-rates. We even saw substantial gains in CPU-bound areas with a Core i5 4690K."
Techspot also did their own independent test.
cpu-bound and gpu bound are two different things, higher speed ram in a cpu bound are will make a difference. however not many play games in this situation, most will have decent enough GPU's to be more gpu bound. no amount of extra speed for ram will help in a gpu bound situation. as well not all games are cpu dependent so we are pretty much cherry picking results to explain what we want to see with higher speed ram and increases to FPS.
