Which is faster - higher Mhz like 7200 vs 6400 - or lower latency like CL32 vs CL36?

According to the Camels this is $10 less than the previous best price.

Frequency usually much more important than CL (latency):
_______________________________________________________

Here's how to look at it. If you have enough GB of RAM, the CL will not matter because there will always be free RAM for your next bit of data; only frequency will determine responsiveness. It is only when you are using every bit of RAM in your machine continuously (or at least often) that CL becomes relevant at all. Given the price premium for tighter-CL chips, if your computer can support more GB of RAM you might do better (under most conditions) to just add more GB of cheaper high-CL RAM.

This may be good for Intel but probably not the best choice for AMD. You want the Infinity Fabric to be in sync with your RAM (3:1), but the majority of CPUs have problems with the fabric at 2133 (6400), and some motherboards don't even support RAM @ 6400. There can be exceptions to this where you can run the IF a little higher than the RAM, which tests well at 6000 and 2033, but expect XMP to have issues and need to run it slower with some tweaking if you get it to run with AM5.

You actually have this backward. Frequency is not responsiveness, it's bandwidth. CL is in fact responsiveness. So your analogy is unfortunately incorrect, more RAM will not fix any lack of responsiveness (high CL) from the RAM itself. Your analogy would work however when comparing to pulling data off disk, like solid state or HDD, but not off the RAM itself.
