Crucial Ballistix DDR4-3200 2x16GB 4400 CL19 vs G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 2x16GB in detail
True latency
G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 8.00 ns, against 8.64 ns for Crucial Ballistix DDR4-3200 2x16GB 4400 CL19 — a difference of 0.64 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. Crucial Ballistix DDR4-3200 2x16GB 4400 CL19 runs 4400 MT/s at CL19; G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 2x16GB runs 4000 MT/s at CL16.
Transfer rate
Crucial Ballistix DDR4-3200 2x16GB 4400 CL19 is rated 4400 MT/s against 4000 MT/s for G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 2x16GB — 35200 MB/s per module, against 32000 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
Crucial Ballistix DDR4-3200 2x16GB 4400 CL19 ships as 2 × 16GB and G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Lighting
On the lighting question: Crucial Ballistix DDR4-3200 2x16GB 4400 CL19 is published with RGB lighting, and G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 2x16GB is published with RGB lighting.
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 G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 2x16GB has the lower true latency, 8.00 ns.
