PC17000 vs PC19200

[Perzeph]

I am curious what the difference is between PC17000 vs PC19200.

I see that the PC17000 applies to the lower ram speed respectively, but on a general technical level, does anyone know what exactly this means?



Here are two rams that I am considering for my new build:

Crucial 32GB (4 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2133 (PC4-17000) Desktop Memory Model CT4K8G4DFD8213

Crucial Ballistix Sport 32GB (4 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4-19200) Desktop MemoryModel BLS4K8G4D240FSA


Any insight is much appreciated.

It's about bandwidth. PC17000 RAM has a bandwidth of 17000MB/s, PC19200 RAM has a bandwidth of 19200MB/s, etc.

+1 Pretty much, it's actually M/Ts (mega/Transfers per second and that's strictly theoretical as you will never completely fill the full abilities of the DRAM and any given time 😉
