G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x16GB vs G.Skill TridentZ RGB DDR4-3600 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 8.89 ns. The two spec sheets state the same clock and the same CAS grade — 3600 MT/s at CL16 either way — and true latency is those two figures reconciled, so it comes out the same for each.
Transfer rate
Both kits are rated 3600 MT/s — 28800 MB/s per module — and both are published at CL16. 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 V DDR4-3600 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and G.Skill TridentZ RGB DDR4-3600 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
