Question Latency vs speed

[Wing901]

High speed ram usually comes with high latency. I wonder which is more important or critical in the real world, speed or latency? I found that low latency ram is significant more expensive.

Noted your determination that low latency ram is significantly more expensive.

However the actual question is high speed vs high latency.

What do you believe is the answer to that question and why?

You're slightly off on the whole high speed/high latency thing. Most enthusiasts at least, seek out faster and faster DIMMS, with as low latency as possible. OEM's cater for that. They charge premiums for it.

But, you are right about the cost. Low latency DIMMs cost more. For sure.

According to this video, ram speed seems to be not important for games but if it is important for other software, such as video editing? Some viewers agree with the ram tests result while others not.
