PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR4-3200 2x16GB vs Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB in detail

True latency

PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB 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. PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR4-3200 2x16GB runs 3200 MT/s at CL16; Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB runs 2666 MT/s at CL19.

Transfer rate

PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB 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

PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB 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

PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB 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 and ECC

On lighting: PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR4-3200 2x16GB has RGB lighting, and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB is published with no RGB lighting. On error correction: PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR4-3200 2x16GB is published without ECC, 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.
