16GB 8x2 vs 4x4 ram (benchmark?)
Go to solution
Solved by typographie,
Not that bad, but the 2x8 will perform faster than 4x4 on a cpu that has dual channel config.
This is untrue. 4x4 is still valid for dual-channel on a dual-channel system. It's just two channels of two DIMMs, instead of a single channel of four DIMMs (as it would be on X99).
As far as I know, there is no performance difference between 8x2 and 4x4. At least none that would fall outside of a margin of error. It's better to choose based on what gives you flexibility in the future.
