G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 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 8.00 ns for G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 2x16GB — a difference of 0.22 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 Z Neo DDR4-4000 2x16GB runs 4000 MT/s at CL16; TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB runs 3600 MT/s at CL14.
Transfer rate
G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 2x16GB is rated 4000 MT/s against 3600 MT/s for TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB — 32000 MB/s per module, against 28800 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
G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 2x16GB is tracked at $1,338.00 — $41.81 per gigabyte — and TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB at $299.99, or $9.37. Both are 32GB kits, so the totals compare directly: TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB is $1,038.01 less than G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 2x16GB. $1,338.00 is the lowest price this site has recorded for G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 2x16GB. $299.99 is the lowest price this site has recorded for TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB.
Kit layout
G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Lighting
