AMD RAM, why cheaper?

[Dolstein]

I ordered this on sale: https://www.proshop.no/RAM/GSkill-TridentZ-Neo-DDR4-3600-C16-DC-AMD-32GB/2792052?utm_source=tekno&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=pricesite

But then I saw there was another exactly the same, just no AMD in the product name: https://www.proshop.no/RAM/GSkill-TridentZ-Neo-DDR4-3600-C16-DC-32GB/2791940?utm_source=tekno&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=pricesite

 

Whats the difference, and why is the non AMD so much more expensive?

The difference is the more expensive kit has lower sub-timings.

CL16 (16-19-19-39) vs. CL16 (16-16-16-36)

There shouldn't be a difference look at the timings etc but back then there actually was amd and intel ram but now with ddr4 and modernities it isn't any more

Trident Z NEO is GSkills marketing name for Ryzen Compatible Ram.

The reason they are different prices is probably because of the timings. The cheaper one shows CL16 (16-19-19-39) and the more expensive one CL16 (16-16-16-36)

Ok, is that a noticeable difference?

That's because they use different IC's most likely ( cl16-16-16 is usually b die while the other kit is some hynix die like cjr or mjr or mfr etc) and one is has better timings.

B die usually has good overclocking headroom but for a casual user it shouldn't make a huge difference. 

Also amd ram just means it was tested and worked with an AMD cpu, doesn't mean anything for the most part though.

OK, thanks!
