G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB vs TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-7200 2x16GB in detail
True latency
TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-7200 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 9.44 ns against 9.50 ns for G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB, 0.06 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 Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB runs 8000 MT/s at CL38; TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-7200 2x16GB runs 7200 MT/s at CL34.
Transfer rate
G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB carries the higher rating, 8000 MT/s to 7200 MT/s for TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-7200 2x16GB — 64000 MB/s per module against 57600 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.
Price and tracked history
G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB is tracked at $999.99, or $31.25 per gigabyte; TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-7200 2x16GB at $709.99, or $22.19. At the same 32GB, that puts TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-7200 2x16GB $290.00 less than G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB. $999.99 is the lowest this site has ever recorded for G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB. TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-7200 2x16GB's $709.99 sits 11% under its own 90-day median.
Kit layout
G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-7200 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
Voltage
G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB is specified at 1.45 V and TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-7200 2x16GB at 1.4 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile requests from the board.
Lighting, timings and ECC
On lighting: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB has RGB lighting, and TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-7200 2x16GB has RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple — the numbers after CAS — G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB is 38-48-48-128, and TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-7200 2x16GB publishes none. On error correction: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB is published without ECC, and the catalog does not state whether TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-7200 2x16GB has it. ECC is a board and CPU feature as much as a module one, so it is worth having only where the platform can use it.
Which to buy
TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-7200 2x16GB gives up nothing to G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB on what is measured here: quicker on true latency at 9.44 ns against 9.50 ns, and the cheaper of the two at the prices this site has tracked.
