Measured comparison
| Metric | Micron DDR4-3200 2×8 GB SO-DIMM (OEM) | Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2800 CL16 4×4 GB |
|---|---|---|
| RAM score (the kit's own performance: bandwidth + latency) | 7,395 | 4,799 |
| Best rig (GAMING — whole PC) | 3,613 | 6,746 |
| Bandwidth, one thread | 15,591 MB/s | 8,422 MB/s |
| RAM latency (lower is better) | 75.8 ns | 97.3 ns |
| Rated speed | 3,200 MT/s | 2,800 MT/s |
| Runs at (seen, avg) | 2,933 MT/s | 1,067 MT/s |
| Capacity | 16 GB | 16 GB |
What the numbers mean
The RAM score is the kit's measured performance in the rigs it sat in — single-thread bandwidth and latency beyond L3. Platform, BIOS settings and whether XMP/EXPO was on all affect it. GAMING is the whole rig's score. We show both and never mix them.
All numbers come from our benchmark suite, the same test on every PC, written in Rust with no middleware. The methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
