PNY Performance DDR4-3200 2x8GB vs Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 13.75 ns. Neither spec sheet differs from the other on the two figures that decide it — 3200 MT/s at CL22 on each side — so the reconciled result is identical rather than merely close.
Transfer rate
Both kits are rated 3200 MT/s, which is 25600 MB/s per module, and both are published at CL22. Those are the two figures the true latency above is computed from, so it comes out the same for each.
