Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB vs Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 10.00 ns against 14.25 ns for Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB, 4.25 ns between them. That is the figure that reconciles the two spec sheets: a CAS number counts cycles, and cycles mean nothing apart from the rate they are counted at. Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB runs 3200 MT/s at CL16; Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB runs 2666 MT/s at CL19.
Transfer rate
Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB carries the higher rating, 3200 MT/s to 2666 MT/s for Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB — 25600 MB/s per module against 21328 MB/s. That is peak transfer rate, not access time: a higher clock is reached by counting more cycles for each access, which is why the CAS numbers differ too and why the true latency above is the directly comparable figure.
Kit layout
Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
Voltage
Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB is specified at 1.35 V and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB at 1.2 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile requests from the board.
Lighting, timings and ECC
On lighting: Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB is published with no RGB lighting, and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB is published with no RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple — the numbers after CAS — Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB is 16-20-20-40, and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB publishes none. On error correction: the catalog does not state whether Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB has it, and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB is published without ECC. ECC is a board and CPU feature as much as a module one, so it is worth having only where the platform can use it.
Which to buy
At least one of these kits has no tracked price right now, so this page has no buying answer to give: which is worth more depends on what each costs, and that is exactly what is missing. On specifications alone, Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB has the lower true latency at 10.00 ns.
Common questions about this pair
- Is Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB faster than Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB?
- Yes, on true latency: 10.00 ns for Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB against 14.25 ns for Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB. Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB runs 3200 MT/s at CL16 and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB runs 2666 MT/s at CL19, and the CAS numbers alone will not settle it — they count clock cycles, not time.
