> And that gets to the question of how PC-100 and DDR4-3200 can have the same latency: A 100 MHz clock cycle takes 10ns (ten nanoseconds), so that PC-100 CAS 1 took a minimum of 10ns to access data. Meanwhile, DDR4-3200 operates at a 1600 MHz clock, and a 1600 MHz clock cycle takes only 0.625ns. This means that DDR4-3200 CAS 16 takes a minimum of sixteen times 0.625ns to access data, which is still 10ns.
