Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB vs TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 1x32GB in detail
True latency
Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 10.00 ns against 13.75 ns for TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 1x32GB, 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. Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB runs 3200 MT/s at CL16; TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 1x32GB runs 3200 MT/s at CL22.
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
Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB is tracked at $186.99, or $5.84 per gigabyte; TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 1x32GB at $320.99, or $10.03. At the same 32GB, that puts Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB $134.00 less than TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 1x32GB. Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB's $186.99 sits 6% under its own 90-day median.
Kit layout
Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 1x32GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
Voltage
Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB is specified at 1.35 V and TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 1x32GB at 1.2 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile requests from the board.
Lighting, timings and ECC
On lighting: Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB is published with no RGB lighting, and TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 1x32GB is published with no RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple — the numbers after CAS — Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB is 16-20-20-40, and TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 1x32GB publishes none. On error correction: the catalog does not state whether Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB has it, and TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 1x32GB 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.
Which to buy
Both axes this page measures point to Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB: 10.00 ns of true latency against 13.75 ns, and the lower of the two tracked prices.
