DDR stands for Double Data Rate 1600Mhz, which translates to 3200Mhz in full. This means the memory operates at both high and low frequencies. At 1600Mhz, there are 1600 million ticks each second, allowing two transfers per tick, resulting in 3200 million transfers per second. Both motherboard producers and memory makers refer to this speed as 3200MT/s, while CPU-Z provides a more accurate reading of around 1600Mhz.
