Question How much difference between a single 32GB stick and a dual 16GB DDR5 stick ?

[rajatinfo]

Is it a big difference?

My current system I have dual DDR4 8GB RAM. I need more RAM now.
If I had bought single 32GB DDR4 RAM, I could have upgraded by adding another stick now. And few more years this PC would have worked out for me.

Now I will build a new PC within a year. So if I go for 32GB RAM, it is fine to give up some performance for future upgradability.

So do you have knowledge how much performance one have to give up in percentage?

Note: I don't play games. Only for occasional video editing, illustrator design, website design. For website design browsers uses RAM. illustrator doesn't use too much RAM.
Only Adobe after effects using lots of RAM.

RAM is sold in matched kits. This is to ensure stable operation. If you buy a single stick and then add another later, even if it is the same type of RAM it can cause problems.

3% -13% depending on application

That depends on how each application uses RAM but difference between single and dual channel raw performance of RAM is from 33-50%.

Are you prepared to run single channel for the next year or two wondering how much better stuff would run if you had just gone dual channel from the start?
