Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-3600 1x16GB vs Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 10.00 ns by different routes: Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-3600 1x16GB at 3600 MT/s at CL18, Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB at 3200 MT/s at CL16. 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 Steel DDR4-3600 1x16GB is rated 3600 MT/s against 3200 MT/s for Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB — 28800 MB/s per module, against 25600 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
Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-3600 1x16GB ships as 2 × 8GB and Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB ships as 2 × 8GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Lighting and timings
On the lighting question: Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-3600 1x16GB does not have RGB lighting, and Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB does not have RGB lighting.
