ADATA XPG Lancer RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB vs Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 in detail

True latency

Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 is the lower-latency kit at 9.27 ns, against 10.00 ns for ADATA XPG Lancer RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB — a difference of 0.73 ns. That figure is what reconciles the two spec sheets: CAS latency counts clock cycles, so it only means something next to the clock it counts. ADATA XPG Lancer RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB runs 6000 MT/s at CL30; Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 runs 8200 MT/s at CL38.

Transfer rate

Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 is rated 8200 MT/s against 6000 MT/s for ADATA XPG Lancer RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB — 65600 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

ADATA XPG Lancer RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.

Lighting and timings

On the lighting question: ADATA XPG Lancer RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB is published with RGB lighting, and Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 does not have RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: ADATA XPG Lancer RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB runs 30-40-40, and Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 does not publish one.

Which to buy

The site holds no current price for at least one of these, so no buying answer follows: which is worth more turns on what each costs, and that figure is the one missing. On the specifications alone, Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 is the quicker at 9.27 ns of true latency.
