DDR3-1600 is also PC3-12800 - generation of the RAM and its transfer speed. DDR3-1600 RAM operates at 1600 MT/s or the same as PC3-12800 operates at 12800 MB/s
example:
PC3 10600S-9-11-F3
- PC3 (same as DDR3)
- 10600 (bandwidth in MB/s),
- S (stands for SODIMM, it's RAM for laptops),
- 9 (CAS latency).
- 11 is the SPD Revision or a way the memory communicates to BIOS
