Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 vs TeamGroup Elite DDR5-4800 2x16GB in detail

True latency

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 is the lower-latency kit at 12.67 ns, against 16.67 ns for TeamGroup Elite DDR5-4800 2x16GB — a difference of 4.00 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. Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 runs 6000 MT/s at CL38; TeamGroup Elite DDR5-4800 2x16GB runs 4800 MT/s at CL40.

Transfer rate

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 is rated 6000 MT/s against 4800 MT/s for TeamGroup Elite DDR5-4800 2x16GB — 48000 MB/s per module, against 38400 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

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 ships as 2 × 16GB and TeamGroup Elite DDR5-4800 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.

Voltage

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 is specified at 1.4 V and TeamGroup Elite DDR5-4800 2x16GB at 1.1 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile asks the board for.

Lighting and timings

On the lighting question: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 is published with RGB lighting, and TeamGroup Elite DDR5-4800 2x16GB does not have RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 runs 38-44-44-96, and TeamGroup Elite DDR5-4800 2x16GB does not publish one.

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, Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 is the quicker at 12.67 ns of true latency.

Common questions about this pair

Is Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 faster than TeamGroup Elite DDR5-4800 2x16GB?
Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 is, on true latency: 12.67 ns against 16.67 ns. Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 runs 6000 MT/s at CL38 and TeamGroup Elite DDR5-4800 2x16GB runs 4800 MT/s at CL40; the CAS numbers alone do not settle it, because they count clock cycles rather than time.
