G.Skill Trident Z Royal DDR4-4266 2x16GB vs TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB in detail
True latency
TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 7.78 ns against 7.97 ns for G.Skill Trident Z Royal DDR4-4266 2x16GB, 0.19 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 Trident Z Royal DDR4-4266 2x16GB runs 4266 MT/s at CL17; TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB runs 3600 MT/s at CL14.
Transfer rate
G.Skill Trident Z Royal DDR4-4266 2x16GB carries the higher rating, 4266 MT/s to 3600 MT/s for TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB — 34128 MB/s per module against 28800 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 Trident Z Royal DDR4-4266 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
Lighting
On lighting: G.Skill Trident Z Royal DDR4-4266 2x16GB has RGB lighting, and TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB is published with no RGB lighting.
Which to buy
At least one of these kits has no tracked price right now, so this page has no buying answer to give: which is worth more depends on what each costs, and that is exactly what is missing. On specifications alone, TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB has the lower true latency at 7.78 ns.
