TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 2x16GB vs Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB in detail
True latency
TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 13.75 ns, against 14.25 ns for Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB — a difference of 0.50 ns. That figure is what reconciles the two spec sheets: CAS latency counts clock cycles, so it only means something next to the clock it counts. TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 2x16GB runs 3200 MT/s at CL22; Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB runs 2666 MT/s at CL19.
Transfer rate
TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 2x16GB is rated 3200 MT/s against 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: reaching a higher clock costs more cycles on each access, which is why the CAS numbers differ too, and why the true latency above is the figure that compares directly.
Kit layout
TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Lighting and ECC
On the lighting question: TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 2x16GB does not have RGB lighting, and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB does not have RGB lighting. On error correction: TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 2x16GB is published with no ECC, and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 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
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, TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 2x16GB has the lower true latency at 13.75 ns.
Common questions about this pair
- Is TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 2x16GB faster than Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB?
- TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 2x16GB is, on true latency: 13.75 ns against 14.25 ns. TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 2x16GB runs 3200 MT/s at CL22 and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB runs 2666 MT/s at CL19; the CAS numbers alone do not settle it, because they count clock cycles rather than time.
