Silicon Power Value Gaming DDR4-3200 2x16GB 3600 CL18 vs Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x16GB in detail

True latency

Both kits land on 10.00 ns by different routes: Silicon Power Value Gaming DDR4-3200 2x16GB 3600 CL18 at 3600 MT/s at CL18, Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x16GB 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

Silicon Power Value Gaming DDR4-3200 2x16GB 3600 CL18 is rated 3600 MT/s against 3200 MT/s for Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x16GB — 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

Silicon Power Value Gaming DDR4-3200 2x16GB 3600 CL18 ships as 2 × 16GB and Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.

Lighting and timings
