Corsair Vengeance RGB RS DDR5-5200 2x16GB vs Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 9.14 ns against 15.38 ns for Corsair Vengeance RGB RS DDR5-5200 2x16GB, 6.24 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. Corsair Vengeance RGB RS DDR5-5200 2x16GB runs 5200 MT/s at CL40; Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB runs 7000 MT/s at CL32.
Transfer rate
Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB carries the higher rating, 7000 MT/s to 5200 MT/s for Corsair Vengeance RGB RS DDR5-5200 2x16GB — 56000 MB/s per module against 41600 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
Corsair Vengeance RGB RS DDR5-5200 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB 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: Corsair Vengeance RGB RS DDR5-5200 2x16GB has RGB lighting, and Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB is published with no RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple — the numbers after CAS — Corsair Vengeance RGB RS DDR5-5200 2x16GB is 40-40-40-77, and Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB publishes none.
