I'm looking at buying a new DDR4 memory kit and I see 2 kits with the stated specs above. Now, I know that it might be easy just to say get the faster MHz kit. But what about this concept of bandwidth efficiency? I think that's the ratio of the bandwidth the chip produces versus it's theoretical maximum bandwidth per the manufacturer's specifications. I'd like comments about this performance ratio/characteristic if anybody knows.
Also, the difference in voltages are interesting to me. The ratio of MHz/voltage goes up pretty linearly from the 2800MHz/1.2V set to the 3200MHz 1.35V set.
I was just curious if there were any pros/cons to keeping the voltage lower or not. I didn't realize it was even possible to run anything past 2666MHz @ 1.2V but I guess it is these days. All suggestions/advice welcome and appreciated.
Thanks for reading!
