Patriot Viper Elite 5 Ultra DDR5-6000 2x16GB vs Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB 7200 CL34 in detail
True latency
Patriot Viper Elite 5 Ultra DDR5-6000 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 9.33 ns against 9.44 ns for Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB 7200 CL34, 0.11 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 Viper Elite 5 Ultra DDR5-6000 2x16GB runs 6000 MT/s at CL28; Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB 7200 CL34 runs 7200 MT/s at CL34.
Transfer rate
Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB 7200 CL34 carries the higher rating, 7200 MT/s to 6000 MT/s for Patriot Viper Elite 5 Ultra DDR5-6000 2x16GB — 57600 MB/s per module against 48000 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 Viper Elite 5 Ultra DDR5-6000 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB 7200 CL34 ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
Lighting and timings
On lighting: Patriot Viper Elite 5 Ultra DDR5-6000 2x16GB is published with no RGB lighting, and Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB 7200 CL34 is published with no RGB lighting.
