I was reviewing RAM details and which parts I wanted to buy and noticed in Linus' video that 1866 CAS 9 seemed to be a sort of sweet spot. So I went to compare how many clocks are delayed between;
1600 8-8-8-24
against
1866 9-9-9-27
I figured, for each second that the clock cycles, take the sum of each latency together and subtract it from the MHz.
1600-((1600/8)3+1600/24)
against
1866-((1866/9)3+1600/27)
This leaves the results of the 1600 RAM at a rounded speed of 933.3~ and the 1866 at a rounded speed of 1,184.740~ which would mean the 1866 is definitely faster.
Is this an accurate way of determining unified RAM speed, or am I just in need of sleep and making up numbers...?
