Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 vs Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 in detail
True latency
Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 is the lower-latency kit at 9.27 ns, against 9.33 ns for Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 — a difference of 0.07 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. Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 runs 6000 MT/s at CL28; Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 runs 8200 MT/s at CL38.
Transfer rate
Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 is rated 8200 MT/s against 6000 MT/s for Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 — 65600 MB/s per module, against 48000 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.
Kit layout
Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 ships as 2 × 16GB and Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Lighting and timings
On the lighting question: Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 does not have RGB lighting, and Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 does not have RGB lighting.
