Corsair Vengeance DDR5-5600 2x32GB vs G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5-5200 2x32GB in detail
True latency
Corsair Vengeance DDR5-5600 2x32GB is the lower-latency kit at 14.29 ns against 15.38 ns for G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5-5200 2x32GB, 1.10 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 DDR5-5600 2x32GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL40; G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5-5200 2x32GB runs 5200 MT/s at CL40.
Transfer rate
Corsair Vengeance DDR5-5600 2x32GB carries the higher rating, 5600 MT/s to 5200 MT/s for G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5-5200 2x32GB — 44800 MB/s per module against 41600 MB/s. That is peak transfer rate, not access time. Both kits are published at CL40, so an identical count of cycles simply completes sooner at the higher clock, and the true latency above is the figure that compares directly.
Kit layout
Corsair Vengeance DDR5-5600 2x32GB ships as 2 × 32GB and G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5-5200 2x32GB ships as 2 × 32GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
