Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 2x16GB vs Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 10.00 ns by different routes: Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 2x16GB at 6000 MT/s at CL30, Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB at 6400 MT/s at CL32. A CAS number counts cycles rather than time, so a higher clock absorbs a looser one and the two arrive together — which is why these spec sheets look different and the memory does not.
Transfer rate
Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB is rated 6400 MT/s against 6000 MT/s for Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 2x16GB — 51200 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.
Price and tracked history
Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 2x16GB is tracked at $729.99 — $22.81 per gigabyte — and Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB at $599.99, or $18.75. Both are 32GB kits, so the totals compare directly: Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB is $130.00 less than Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 2x16GB. At $599.99, Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB is running 4% below its own 90-day median.
Kit layout
Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Voltage
Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 2x16GB is specified at 1.4 V and Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB at 1.35 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile asks the board for.
