Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB vs Crucial Pro DDR5-6000 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB in detail

True latency

Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 10.00 ns against 12.00 ns for Crucial Pro DDR5-6000 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB, 2.00 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. Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB runs 6400 MT/s at CL32; Crucial Pro DDR5-6000 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB runs 6000 MT/s at CL36.

Transfer rate

Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB carries the higher rating, 6400 MT/s to 6000 MT/s for Crucial Pro DDR5-6000 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB — 51200 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

Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and Crucial Pro DDR5-6000 Overclocking Memory 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: Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB is published with no RGB lighting, and Crucial Pro DDR5-6000 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB is published with no RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple — the numbers after CAS — Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB is 32-40-40-103, and Crucial Pro DDR5-6000 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB is 36-38-38-80.

Which to buy

At least one of these kits has no tracked price right now, so this page has no buying answer to give: which is worth more depends on what each costs, and that is exactly what is missing. On specifications alone, Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB has the lower true latency at 10.00 ns.

Common questions about this pair
