CL20 is 2x the cost and there are only a few DIMMs available at that speed. There's one at CL19 for even more. CL22 is the mainstream sweet-spot for 32GB SODIMM DDR4

It'd be cool if this is what it would cost to add RAM to Macbook's.
But no, it's like $600.
I tell anyone investing in an M1 MacBook that there's no future upgrading anymore, this is your time to decide if you'll need more storage/ram/performance later because the chipsets are not replaceable.
My laptop has a maximum capacity of 32GB at 3200 Hrz. Is the 2x16 GB SODIMM set at $93 a good deal to upgrade my laptop?
Whats your laptop? Whats the purpose of the upgrade? Are you maxing out your current ram and need bigger size, or are you looking to improve the current performance (while not maxing out current ram capacity)?
Otherwise, if you are happy with your current performance, but you are maxing out your current ram capacity and are in need of extra ram, then yeah, this is a good deal.
Do these memories have the X8 chip organization? The manufacturer's website does not specify
A review on Newegg's page dated 11/29/21 says:
"Dual rank, get it if you need the best RAM for your Legion 5 2021 laptop."
Keep in mind that many memory manufacturers switched to higher-density chips out of necessity, so there's no guarantee current deliveries will match this same bank/rank config.
all the balking at the cl speed..are you benchmarking your laptop or something, or are we talking about real-world perceivable gains?
i guess you could argue that if you're looking at 2x32gb so-dimms that that automatically qualifies you as an enthusiast, but i think you'd be an extremely small minority..
anyway this seems like an excellent deal for the price. i would nab this up for my evoo lp5 if i wasn't already running 2x32gb of hyperx impact at 2666MHz CL16. although on second thought, i could always sell that off and get this..

For perspective, its probably the same speed as the ECC DDR4 memory in my machine
I would agree with this I'd it was desktop RAM at CL22, but Desktop CL and Laptop CL are not really comparable.
But no, it's like $600.

If you are not maxing out your Ram, but want to notably improve performance, then you would do much better to go with this one. : https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-F...le_ce?th=1
