G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB vs TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 in detail

True latency

TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 is the lower-latency kit at 9.33 ns, against 9.50 ns for G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB — a difference of 0.17 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. G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB runs 8000 MT/s at CL38; TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 runs 6000 MT/s at CL28.

Transfer rate

G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB is rated 8000 MT/s against 6000 MT/s for TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 — 64000 MB/s per module, against 48000 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

G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.

Voltage

G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB is specified at 1.45 V and TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 at 1.4 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile asks the board for.

Lighting, timings and ECC

On the lighting question: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB is published with RGB lighting, and TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 is published with RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB runs 38-48-48-128, and TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 does not publish one. On error correction: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB is published with no ECC, and the catalog does not state whether TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 supports it. Whether ECC is worth having depends on the platform as much as the modules — the board and the CPU have to support it too.

Which to buy

The site holds no current price for at least one of these, so no buying answer follows: which is worth more turns on what each costs, and that figure is the one missing. On the specifications alone, TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 is the quicker at 9.33 ns of true latency.

Common questions about this pair

Is G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB faster than TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28?
TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 is, on true latency: 9.33 ns against 9.50 ns. G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB runs 8000 MT/s at CL38 and TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 runs 6000 MT/s at CL28; the CAS numbers alone do not settle it, because they count clock cycles rather than time.
