Does it matter what RAM you use for AMD?
In spite of what manufacturers say, there is really no such thing as Intel compatible, or AMD compatible RAM. The RAM’s standard is defined by JEDEC, and any RAM module which is within the specifications set by JEDEC will work with any CPU and Motherboard which supports that same standard.

Does AMD optimized RAM work with Intel?
It will work fine. DDR4 is DDR4. The only difference that makes them “Ryzen optimized” are the timings and Intel platforms are very compatible with a wide range of settings, plus most motherboards will simply change anything they don’t like.
Can Ryzen 3 3200g handle 3200Mhz RAM?
the 3200g is only officially supported by amd to 2933 but will likely work with higher frequencies. I think most will work at 3200Mhz but the motherboard comes into play as well.
Is G skill ram good for Intel?
No issues at all.
Can I pair 3000MHz with 3200MHz RAM?
In most cases, yes. Rarely would it be incompatible. However both of your RAM sticks will run at 2133Mhz. The faster stick would be underclocked to the level of the slower one so they can both run in sync.

Why is 4600mhz RAM bad for gaming?
One of the major issues of using 4,600MHz Ram’s was the need for liquid cooling which most people don’t use which made it somewhat hard for them to catch on. “Previously, the speed of DDR4-4600MHz was only achievable under extreme overclocking with liquid nitrogen cooling,” G.Skill says.
