Crucial DDR4 SODIMM 2666 1x16GB vs Crucial DDR4 SODIMM 2666 1x16GB 2400 CL17: full breakdown
Value: price per gigabyte
There is no price-per-GB winner in this comparison: every kit is out of stock, and an out-of-stock price is not a value. On the last prices recorded, the figures were Crucial DDR4 SODIMM 2666 1x16GB at CA$12.106/GB and Crucial DDR4 SODIMM 2666 1x16GB 2400 CL17 at CA$11.925/GB.
Capacity and module layout
The Crucial DDR4 SODIMM 2666 1x16GB is 1x16GB and the Crucial DDR4 SODIMM 2666 1x16GB 2400 CL17 is 1x16GB. Every kit here totals 16GB, so capacity is not the deciding factor. Every kit here is a single module. That is maximum upgrade headroom β the other slots stay free β but a lone stick runs single-channel until a matching module joins it.
Speed and latency
Clocks and timings: the Crucial DDR4 SODIMM 2666 1x16GB at 2,666 MT/s CL19 and the Crucial DDR4 SODIMM 2666 1x16GB 2400 CL17 at 2,400 MT/s CL17. The Crucial DDR4 SODIMM 2666 1x16GB clocks highest at 2,666 MT/s, 11% above the Crucial DDR4 SODIMM 2666 1x16GB 2400 CL17 at 2,400 MT/s. True latency, where lower is better, favours the Crucial DDR4 SODIMM 2666 1x16GB 2400 CL17 at 14.2 ns against 14.3 ns on the Crucial DDR4 SODIMM 2666 1x16GB. That is the figure that settles a higher-CAS-at-higher-clock argument; MT/s or CAS on its own does not.
Current price against MSRP
Crucial DDR4 SODIMM 2666 1x16GB and Crucial DDR4 SODIMM 2666 1x16GB 2400 CL17 are out of stock, so those prices are the last recorded rather than something you can pay today. No MSRP is on file for any of these kits, so street price is the only reference point.
Which of these 2 kits should you buy?
No recommendation today: every one of the 2 kits compared is out of stock, and a price-per-GB figure nobody can pay is not a value. On paper the Crucial DDR4 SODIMM 2666 1x16GB is the quickest at 2,666 MT/s, so it is the one to watch for. Wait for stock before committing β the price-per-GB order can change the moment one of them is listed again.
