G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5-5600 2x16GB vs Silicon Power Value Gaming DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 in detail
True latency
Silicon Power Value Gaming DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 is the lower-latency kit at 12.00 ns against 14.29 ns for G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5-5600 2x16GB, 2.29 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. G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5-5600 2x16GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL40; Silicon Power Value Gaming DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 runs 6000 MT/s at CL36.
Transfer rate
Silicon Power Value Gaming DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 carries the higher rating, 6000 MT/s to 5600 MT/s for G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5-5600 2x16GB — 48000 MB/s per module against 44800 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
G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5-5600 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and Silicon Power Value Gaming DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
Lighting and timings
On lighting: G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5-5600 2x16GB is published with no RGB lighting, and Silicon Power Value Gaming DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 is published with no RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple — the numbers after CAS — G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5-5600 2x16GB publishes none, and Silicon Power Value Gaming DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 is 30-38-38-96.
Which to buy
