Budget 0-20k 16x2 GB 3600MHz RAM vs 8x2 GB 4000MHz RAM?

[Sripad]

Guys help me decide on the difference between:
3600MHz RAM 16x2 32GB
vs
4000MHz RAM 8x2 16GB

Which is better?

32 gb but you have given no detail about which sticks are both and what setup.

Which CPU? 400 MHz doesn't make much difference to performance to be honest unless you are unzipping/zipping files 24/7.

On ryzen, 90% of the CPUs won't reach 2000 MHz IF speeds to support 1:1 uclk:fclk for it to be of any benefit.

3600. Anything more is not long term stable

Guys I'm sorry for asking dumb question, I was just curious on which ram is better and what's the difference since both fall on the same price range.

32gb with 3600mhz
and
their is no such thing as dumb question(getting knowledge and opinions only)

Get 32gb if price is similar, 4000 mhz is overkill and the hardware/software to use them optimally are very less
