ADATA XPG Lancer NEON RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB 7200 CL34 vs G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL30 in detail

True latency

G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL30 is the lower-latency kit at 9.38 ns, against 9.44 ns for ADATA XPG Lancer NEON RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB 7200 CL34 — a difference of 0.07 ns. That figure is what reconciles the two spec sheets: CAS latency counts clock cycles, so it only means something next to the clock it counts. ADATA XPG Lancer NEON RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB 7200 CL34 runs 7200 MT/s at CL34; G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL30 runs 6400 MT/s at CL30.

Transfer rate

ADATA XPG Lancer NEON RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB 7200 CL34 is rated 7200 MT/s against 6400 MT/s for G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL30 — 57600 MB/s per module, against 51200 MB/s. That is peak transfer rate, not access time: reaching a higher clock costs more cycles on each access, which is why the CAS numbers differ too, and why the true latency above is the figure that compares directly.

Kit layout

ADATA XPG Lancer NEON RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB 7200 CL34 ships as 2 × 16GB and G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL30 ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.

Lighting and timings

On the lighting question: ADATA XPG Lancer NEON RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB 7200 CL34 is published with RGB lighting, and G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL30 is published with RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: ADATA XPG Lancer NEON RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB 7200 CL34 does not publish one, and G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL30 runs 32-39-39-102.

Which to buy

The site holds no current price for at least one of these, so no buying answer follows: which is worth more turns on what each costs, and that figure is the one missing. On the specifications alone, G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL30 is the quicker at 9.38 ns of true latency.

Common questions about this pair

Is ADATA XPG Lancer NEON RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB 7200 CL34 faster than G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL30?
G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL30 is, on true latency: 9.38 ns against 9.44 ns. ADATA XPG Lancer NEON RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB 7200 CL34 runs 7200 MT/s at CL34 and G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL30 runs 6400 MT/s at CL30; the CAS numbers alone do not settle it, because they count clock cycles rather than time.
