Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB vs TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 1x32GB in detail
True latency
Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 10.00 ns against 13.75 ns for TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 1x32GB, 3.75 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; TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 1x32GB runs 3200 MT/s at CL22.
Transfer rate
Both kits are rated 3200 MT/s, or 25600 MB/s per module. They part company on CAS latency instead of on clock, so the true-latency figures above are what tells them apart.
Kit layout
Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 1x32GB 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 TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 1x32GB 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 TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 1x32GB 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 TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 1x32GB publishes none. On error correction: the catalog does not state whether Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB has it, and TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 1x32GB 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.
