Corsair Vengeance RGB RS DDR5-5200 2x16GB vs TeamGroup Elite DDR5-6000 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Corsair Vengeance RGB RS DDR5-5200 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 15.38 ns, against 16.00 ns for TeamGroup Elite DDR5-6000 2x16GB — a difference of 0.61 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. Corsair Vengeance RGB RS DDR5-5200 2x16GB runs 5200 MT/s at CL40; TeamGroup Elite DDR5-6000 2x16GB runs 6000 MT/s at CL48.
Transfer rate
TeamGroup Elite DDR5-6000 2x16GB is rated 6000 MT/s against 5200 MT/s for Corsair Vengeance RGB RS DDR5-5200 2x16GB — 48000 MB/s per module, against 41600 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 RGB RS DDR5-5200 2x16GB is tracked at $639.99 — $20.00 per gigabyte — and TeamGroup Elite DDR5-6000 2x16GB at $903.17, or $28.22.
