Kingston ValueRAM DDR4-3200 1x16GB vs Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB in detail
True latency
Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB is the lower-latency kit at 10.00 ns against 13.75 ns for Kingston ValueRAM DDR4-3200 1x16GB, 3.75 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. Kingston ValueRAM DDR4-3200 1x16GB runs 3200 MT/s at CL22; Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB runs 3200 MT/s at CL16.
Transfer rate
Both kits are rated 3200 MT/s, or 25600 MB/s per module. They part company on CAS latency instead of on clock, so the true-latency figures above are what tells them apart.
Price and tracked history
Kingston ValueRAM DDR4-3200 1x16GB is tracked at $139.00, or $8.69 per gigabyte; Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB at $99.97, or $6.25. At the same 16GB, that puts Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB $39.03 less than Kingston ValueRAM DDR4-3200 1x16GB. Kingston ValueRAM DDR4-3200 1x16GB's $139.00 sits 32% under its own 90-day median. Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB's $99.97 sits 20% under its own 90-day median.
Kit layout
Kingston ValueRAM DDR4-3200 1x16GB ships as 1 × 16GB, Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB ships as 2 × 8GB. A real difference, and not a ranking: more sticks fill more channels on a board that has them, while fewer sticks leave slots free for adding later. Which suits comes down to the board and to whether more memory is planned.
Voltage
Kingston ValueRAM DDR4-3200 1x16GB is specified at 1.2 V and Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB at 1.35 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile requests from the board.
Lighting, timings and ECC
On lighting: Kingston ValueRAM DDR4-3200 1x16GB is published with no RGB lighting, and Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB is published with no RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple — the numbers after CAS — Kingston ValueRAM DDR4-3200 1x16GB is 22-22-22, and Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB is 16-18-18-38. On error correction: Kingston ValueRAM DDR4-3200 1x16GB is published without ECC, and the catalog does not state whether Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB has it. 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.
Which to buy
Both axes this page measures point to Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB: 10.00 ns of true latency against 13.75 ns, and the lower of the two tracked prices.
