Patriot Signature Premium DDR5-5600 1x16GB vs Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6000 1x16GB in detail
True latency
Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6000 1x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 10.00 ns against 16.43 ns for Patriot Signature Premium DDR5-5600 1x16GB, 6.43 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. Patriot Signature Premium DDR5-5600 1x16GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL46; Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6000 1x16GB runs 6000 MT/s at CL30.
Transfer rate
Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6000 1x16GB carries the higher rating, 6000 MT/s to 5600 MT/s for Patriot Signature Premium DDR5-5600 1x16GB — 48000 MB/s per module against 44800 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.
Kit layout
Patriot Signature Premium DDR5-5600 1x16GB ships as 1 × 16GB, Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6000 1x16GB ships as 2 × 8GB. A real difference, and not a ranking: more sticks fill more channels on a board that has them, while fewer sticks leave slots free for adding later. Which suits comes down to the board and to whether more memory is planned.
Voltage
Patriot Signature Premium DDR5-5600 1x16GB is specified at 1.1 V and Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6000 1x16GB at 1.35 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile requests from the board.
