PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR4-3200 2x8GB vs Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 10.00 ns. Neither spec sheet differs from the other on the two figures that decide it — 3200 MT/s at CL16 on each side — so the reconciled result is identical rather than merely close.
Transfer rate
Both kits are rated 3200 MT/s, which is 25600 MB/s per module, and both are published at CL16. Those are the two figures the true latency above is computed from, so it comes out the same for each.
Price and tracked history
PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR4-3200 2x8GB is tracked at $197.64, or $12.35 per gigabyte; Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB at $174.97, or $10.94. At the same 16GB, that puts Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB $22.67 less than PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR4-3200 2x8GB. PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR4-3200 2x8GB's $197.64 sits 3% under its own 90-day median.
