I don't know where you have seen that, but it is rubbish.
Rated speeds are as I wrote in the previous post.
Your CPU supports DDR3 1333/1600, so choose PC3-12800. This is DDR3-1600.

Maximum bandwidth:
1 x dimm DDR3-1333 = 10.7 GB/s.
1 x dimm DDR3-1600 = 12.8 GB/s
2 x dimm DDR3-1333 = 21.3 GB/s
2 x dimm DDR3-1600 = 25.6 GB/s.
