Can somebody explain me the difference between the HIGHER FREQUENCY and the LOWER LATENCY on RAM MEMORIES?

For example : 2133/13 vs 3000/15 ?

What is better in GAMING ?

DDR4-3000 is substantially faster, however, it is nothing more than overclocked DDR4-2133 or DDR4-2400. Overclocking memory can occasionally be a headache, and performance gains are largely restricted to memory intensive applications such as compression, compiling, and encoding.

The article seems to point out that higher frequency can overcome the drawbacks of lower latency. I would imagine that both kits would perform similarly, but the 866mhz difference between the 13 and 15 CAS might allow the 3000mhz to pull ahead slightly, but the article also suggests that except for extreme circumstances, memory performance doesn't effect framerates as much.

Latency is a non-issue on modern memory when used with a good memory controller

3000/15 (or better yet 14 ;) GSkill has introduced new sets of Trident Z and Ripjaws V with a 14 CL in 2800-3000 and 3200 sets of 2/4x8GB and 2/4X16GB, great sticks and have OC headroom to go higher) is far better performance wise than 2133/13. Additionally you can take say the 3000/15 and if you wanted (don't know why you would ;) ) downclock them and could run 2133/11 (maybe even better)
