Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL32 RGB vs Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB 6800 CL34 RGB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 10.00 ns. Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL32 RGB gets there at 6400 MT/s at CL32, Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB 6800 CL34 RGB at 6800 MT/s at CL34. CAS latency counts clock cycles rather than time, so a higher clock paired with a looser CAS number arrives at the same place — which is why these two spec sheets look different and the memory does not.
Transfer rate
Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB 6800 CL34 RGB carries the higher rating, 6800 MT/s to 6400 MT/s for Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL32 RGB — 54400 MB/s per module against 51200 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.
Price and tracked history
Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL32 RGB is tracked at 556,99 €, or 17,41 € per gigabyte; Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB 6800 CL34 RGB at 757,99 €, or 23,69 €. At the same 32GB, that puts Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL32 RGB 201,00 € less than Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB 6800 CL34 RGB.
