How much faster is 16gb than 8gb?

Application Performance
Once you have 'enough' memory for all your applications to run, having more memory won't increase performance any further. And in this case, what that means is that for regular desktop work, you'll be hard pressed to find any tangible performance difference between 8GB and 16GB of system memory.

Is it better to have 2 sticks of 8gb or 1 16gb?
Always go with a matching pair. 2 8GB sticks will yield roughly 25% more performance over a comparable 16GB stick. Dual channel is always going to be better than single. You will absolutely notice the difference in pretty much all applications that use more than 2GB of memory, which these days is pretty much anything.

Is it worth getting 16gb ram over 8gb?
The increased capacity that 16GB of RAM provides over 8GB makes it the clear winner. 8GB of RAM may be suitable for basic functions, but it quickly seizes up when multiple programs try to operate at the same time. You might not always need 16GB of RAM but you'll be happy to have it when push comes to shove.

Is 16gb ram faster than 8gb?
The amount of RAM just determines how many programs you can simultaneously run (multitask) not the actual speed within those programs. That is dependent on frequency and timings. While 8GB higher frequency RAM will be faster than 16GB low frequency RAM, it also limits the amount of programs you can simultaneously use.
