How significant is the performance increase?

For example, would you still be better off running 1x16GB instead of 2x4GB?

It can be very significant, anywhere from 0-40% increase if you're CPU bottlenecked. Hell, I've even seen the increase be over 50%, though that was a very specific scenario with an FX-8320 and CSGO - that said, I'd argue running out of RAM is *always* worse than running RAM at single channel
