G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB vs Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6400 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 10.00 ns by different routes: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB at 6000 MT/s at CL30, Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6400 2x16GB at 6400 MT/s at CL32. A CAS number counts cycles rather than time, so a higher clock absorbs a looser one and the two arrive together — which is why these spec sheets look different and the memory does not.
Transfer rate
Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6400 2x16GB is rated 6400 MT/s against 6000 MT/s for G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB — 51200 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
G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6400 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Voltage
G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB is specified at 1.35 V and Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6400 2x16GB at 1.4 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile asks the board for.
Lighting and timings
On the lighting question: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB is published with RGB lighting, and Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6400 2x16GB does not have RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB runs 30-40-40-96, and Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6400 2x16GB runs 32-40-40-84.
Which to buy
