Crucial Ballistix DDR4-3200 2x8GB vs Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x8GB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 10.00 ns. The two spec sheets state the same clock and the same CAS grade — 3200 MT/s at CL16 either way — and true latency is those two figures reconciled, so it comes out the same for each.
Transfer rate
Both kits are rated 3200 MT/s — 25600 MB/s per module — and both are published at CL16. The true latency above is computed from exactly those two figures, so it lands in the same place for each.
Kit layout
Crucial Ballistix DDR4-3200 2x8GB ships as 2 × 8GB and Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x8GB ships as 2 × 8GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
