How significant is the performance increase?

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

Well depends. If the thing u want to run needs more than 8gb, then the 1x16gb is gonna be better. If it only needs like 4gb of ram, then the speed increase of dual channel would make it run better over the single stick.

 But then you have to consider you never run 1 thing, so if U wanna run a game+discord+browser etc, the amount of ram definetly matters.
