Corsair Vengeance DDR5-4800 2x32GB vs Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB in detail

True latency

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB is the lower-latency kit at 10.00 ns against 16.67 ns for Corsair Vengeance DDR5-4800 2x32GB, 6.67 ns between them. That is the figure that reconciles the two spec sheets: a CAS number counts cycles, and cycles mean nothing apart from the rate they are counted at. Corsair Vengeance DDR5-4800 2x32GB runs 4800 MT/s at CL40; Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB runs 6400 MT/s at CL32.

Transfer rate

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB carries the higher rating, 6400 MT/s to 4800 MT/s for Corsair Vengeance DDR5-4800 2x32GB — 51200 MB/s per module against 38400 MB/s. That is peak transfer rate, not access time: a higher clock is reached by counting more cycles for each access, which is why the CAS numbers differ too and why the true latency above is the directly comparable figure.

Kit layout

Corsair Vengeance DDR5-4800 2x32GB ships as 2 × 32GB and Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB ships as 2 × 32GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.

Voltage

Corsair Vengeance DDR5-4800 2x32GB is specified at 1.1 V and Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB at 1.4 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile requests from the board.

Lighting and timings

On lighting: Corsair Vengeance DDR5-4800 2x32GB is published with no RGB lighting, and Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB has RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple — the numbers after CAS — Corsair Vengeance DDR5-4800 2x32GB publishes none, and Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB is 32-40-40-84.

Which to buy

Without a tracked price for both, this page cannot say which to buy — the answer depends on cost, and cost is what is absent. What the specifications do say is that Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB has the lower true latency, 10.00 ns.
