AMD Performance Edition 4 GB (2x2GB DDR3-1600)

The AMD Performance Edition 4 GB arrives as 2 modules of 2GB each with 4GB of DDR3 on board. It is specced for 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 8, working out to a true latency of about 10ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V.

Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 4GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use. DDR3 pricing in the budget tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Expect to pay around $39.99, which lands it among budget options.
