3200MHz CL16 vs 3600MHz CL16

[Deus100]

The difference in price is around 30 euros. Is it worth it or I will get like small performance difference?

for 16 or 32gb?

for intel or amd?

 

for 32gb kit, prob not too terrible an investment.

for 16gb kit, no way

 

for intel...eh

whatever you do, get dual channel

Buy 2 8's so you have dual channel and 3600MHz would suit better for your CPU.

why dual chanel? I thought to get one and after a year or so take another 16 gb? Isnt that like smarter?

dual channel is more performance. better to get 2x8 or 2x16. going 1x16 will mean it sucks until you later get another 16 to make it dual.

More access lanes to access the same data.  Similar to the reasons you get better performance out of NVME over SATA.   Or slightly better performance over a single drive by using RAID0. 

 

Its not as important for intel but for Ryzen memory choice is pretty important because of how the infinity fabric works between the RAM and the CPU cores.
