How much faster is Dual Channel than Intel's Flex Memory Mode?
How much faster is a RAM configuration of sticks 8+8+4+4 than one of 8+8+8? I'm interested in delay and speed in MB/s.

Assuming a processor that supports Triple-Channel, the second version (8+8+8) would be faster.
The first version (8+8+4+4) would only support Dual-Channel.
About the Triple-Channel memory architecture:
The architecture can only be used when all three, or a multiple of three, memory modules are identical in capacity and speed, and are placed in three-channel slots. When two memory modules are installed, the architecture will operate in dual-channel architecture mode.
The delay and the speed of this difference are hard to tell.
I do not know of any measuring in this regard.
He who has any reliable information in this regard should stand up and tell.

Your processor/mainboard combo has to support Triple-Channel, of course. If this combo only supports Dual-Channel, you are limited to this. You can check if your processor supports Triple-Channel by visiting the link I provided.

I'd expect software that is "hardware agnostic" (in the relevant sense) to show any differences in speed, if there is any detectable difference - e.g. google "memtest86"
