MT/s vs MHz in rams

So I'm shopping for a ddr5 and encountered depending on brand using either mt/s or mhz. I've also googled what they mean. So I just want to make sure that I got it correctly. If one brand says 5600mt/s, it's no different with another brand's 5600mhz, correct? And if the motherboard specs indicates either 5600mt/s or mhz, does that mean the other was well?

As marketing terms, yes they are the same. Technically the MHz is should be half of MT/s for DDR memory so you can say MT/s is the correct one

MT/s is the correct term. When they say 5600MHz it's not the actual clock speed but the effective clock speed. The actual clock speed is half of that so 2300MHz... DDR = Double Data Rate so 2 x 2300 = 5600MHz or rather MT/s (Mega Transfers)

2300*2=4600.... 

2800*2=5600....

Happens to the best of us. I've made some really embarrassing mistakes doing lab calcs before so I don't blame ya.

To be fair I once worked as a cashier when I was a student and I was so messed up that I couldn't for a solid 2 minutes calculate the change I had to give away... I was so embarrassed and even the people in line left and went to another cashier 😄 So yeah, it happens and it's damn embarrassing.
