Performance metrics
Calculated from each kit's rated speed, CAS latency and module count, so they're exact for the rated (XMP/EXPO) profile.
Speed & bandwidth
Bandwidth = data rate × 8 bytes × channels used. A single stick runs in single-channel mode, so a 2-stick kit doubles it. Higher is better.
Latency
True latency = CAS latency × 2000 ÷ data rate. This is how CL30 at 6000 MT/s compares fairly with CL16 at 3200. Lower is better.
Capacity
Total kit capacity. 16 GB is the gaming minimum today; 32 GB is the sweet spot.
