Performance

true latency

8.89 ns

7.37 ns

The true latency is a good indicator of memory performance. It is calculated from the CAS latency (CL) and transfer rate.
The speed of the memory, as given by the manufacturer. Also known as the Tested Speed. Note: it requires a CPU/motherboard that can support the speed, and may also require enabling XMP profiles.
memory speed (SPD)

2133 MHz

2133 MHz

The SPD (serial presence detect) speed of the memory. This is the speed that the memory runs at by default, without changing any BIOS settings or overclocking etc.
DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is the most common type of RAM. Newer versions of DDR memory support higher maximum speeds and are more energy-efficient.
The CAS Latency (CL) timing of the memory.
The tRAS (Row Active Time) timing of the memory.
The tRCD (Row Column Delay) timing of the memory.
The tRP (Row Precharge Time) timing of the memory.

General info

form factor

288-pin DIMM

288-pin DIMM

You should always make sure to buy the correct memory for your system. Common form factors include 288-pin DIMM for PCs and 260-pin SO-DIMM for laptops.
memory size (total)

2 x 8GB

2 x 8GB

The total size of the memory, taking into account the size of a single module and the number of modules in the kit.
has Samsung B-Die
G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-3600 CL16 16GB (2x8GB)
G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-3800 CL14 16GB (2x8GB)
Samsung B-Die is a specific type of die (chip) used in some memory products. Many people favour this type of memory as it can run at speeds of 3200MHz or higher while also keeping CAS latency low (CL 14). These performance benefits are most notable when paired with an AMD Ryzen CPU.
voltage

1.35V

1.5V

The voltage of the memory.
height

43 mm

43 mm

The height represents the vertical dimension of the product.
The size of a single memory module.

Features

Intel XMP / AMD EXPO

Intel XMP 2.0

Intel XMP 2.0

Intel XMP (Intel Extreme Memory Profile) and AMD EXPO (AMD Extended Profiles for Overclocking) are features that allow you to easily overclock memory, simply by enabling the option in the BIOS.
Supports ECC memory
