Mushkin Redline DDR4-3200 2x16GB vs PNY Performance DDR4-3200 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 13.75 ns. The two spec sheets state the same clock and the same CAS grade — 3200 MT/s at CL22 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 CL22. The true latency above is computed from exactly those two figures, so it lands in the same place for each.
Kit layout
Mushkin Redline DDR4-3200 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and PNY Performance DDR4-3200 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Lighting, timings and ECC
On the lighting question: Mushkin Redline DDR4-3200 2x16GB does not have RGB lighting, and PNY Performance DDR4-3200 2x16GB does not have RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: Mushkin Redline DDR4-3200 2x16GB runs 22-22-22, and PNY Performance DDR4-3200 2x16GB does not publish one. On error correction: the catalog does not state whether Mushkin Redline DDR4-3200 2x16GB supports it, and PNY Performance DDR4-3200 2x16GB is published with no ECC. Whether ECC is worth having depends on the platform as much as the modules — the board and the CPU have to support it too.
Which to buy
The site holds no current price for at least one of these, so there is no buying answer here; the specifications do not settle it either, since both reconcile to 13.75 ns of true latency. The sections above are what is left to choose on.
