3600Mhz cl18 vs 3200 cl16?
It varies. Both are important, but latency generally impacts performance more. Running raw clock speed above latency tends to boost speeds up to around 3200. Beyond that, gains slow down significantly and the difference is minimal with today’s technology—perhaps even next-gen Ryzen. It might just be a small margin, so it’s better to choose the more affordable option. For the current setup, 3600 is often considered optimal with Zen2 thanks to cost and other factors. Even with the same latency, clock speed differences could mean a slight edge in some games (maybe 1 or 2 fps). No need to stress too much. Therefore, go with the cheaper one. In this situation, the user likely chose Intel, so they could safely stick with 2133 RAM.
