Are PC3 10700 and PC3 10600 the same?

Hello everyone, I would like to add RAM to my laptop, which currently has 4GB (2x2) to replace it with two 4GB sticks.

I am using CPU-Z to find out what to buy:
I find that I have 2 DDR3 PC3-10700 sticks

But I'm struggling to find sticks that meet the "PC3-10700" criteria at an affordable price. I only find "PC3-10600"

So my question is the following: Will it work well if I take those sticks?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hi,

actually your memory sticks are 1333.3333 MHz and when you multiply this number by 8 you'll get 10666.666... some manufacturers and/or sellers round it to 10600 and others to 10700

PC3-10600 or PC3-10700 it's the same thing

Multiplying the frequency (1333 MHz) by 8 is a simple method to obtain the theoretical bandwidth

The calculation behind this conversion factor is simple: memory based on SDRAM technology uses a 64-bit connection; there are 8 bits in a byte, so 64 bits equal 8 bytes. For example, DDR2-800 memory transfers 800 Mbits per channel per second; its 64 channels allow a transfer of 8 bytes per cycle and 800 multiplied by 8 gives 6400.

Volunteers appreciate the following words: hello, good evening, thank you, please! don't forget it! For emergencies call 112 or learn patience.
