G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-4800 2x16GB CL40 vs PHS-memory DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x32GB 4800 CL40 in detail

True latency

Both kits land on 16.67 ns. The two spec sheets state the same clock and the same CAS grade — 4800 MT/s at CL40 either way — and true latency is those two figures reconciled, so it comes out the same for each.

Transfer rate

Both kits are rated 4800 MT/s — 38400 MB/s per module — and both are published at CL40. The true latency above is computed from exactly those two figures, so it lands in the same place for each.

Kit layout

G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-4800 2x16GB CL40 ships as 2 × 16GB and PHS-memory DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x32GB 4800 CL40 ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.

Lighting and timings

On the lighting question: G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-4800 2x16GB CL40 does not have RGB lighting, and PHS-memory DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x32GB 4800 CL40 does not have RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-4800 2x16GB CL40 runs 40-39-39-76, and PHS-memory DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x32GB 4800 CL40 does not publish one.

Which to buy

The site holds no current price for at least one of these, so there is no buying answer here; the specifications do not settle it either, since both reconcile to 16.67 ns of true latency. The sections above are what is left to choose on.
