I know that bigger capacity hard-drives with the same RPM are faster then smaller capacity hard-drives. I was wondering if the same is true for ram. Given two ram clocked at 1600mhz and with identical CLs: 9-9-9-24. Is a 2x8 going to perform better then a 2x4 ?

Note that I am not asking if having more ram will improve the performance of my PC, I'm asking if the bigger capacity ram performs better.

Thank You.
