Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB vs G.Skill Ripjaws M5 RGB DDR5-5200 2x32GB in detail

True latency

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB is the lower-latency kit at 10.00 ns, against 15.38 ns for G.Skill Ripjaws M5 RGB DDR5-5200 2x32GB — a difference of 5.38 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 RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB runs 6400 MT/s at CL32; G.Skill Ripjaws M5 RGB DDR5-5200 2x32GB runs 5200 MT/s at CL40.

Transfer rate

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB is rated 6400 MT/s against 5200 MT/s for G.Skill Ripjaws M5 RGB DDR5-5200 2x32GB — 51200 MB/s per module, against 41600 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 RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB ships as 2 × 32GB and G.Skill Ripjaws M5 RGB DDR5-5200 2x32GB ships as 2 × 32GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
