Corsair Vengeance DDR4-3200 SODIMM 2x16GB 2666 CL18 vs G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4-3200 SODIMM 1x32GB in detail
True latency
Corsair Vengeance DDR4-3200 SODIMM 2x16GB 2666 CL18 is the lower-latency kit at 13.50 ns against 13.75 ns for G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4-3200 SODIMM 1x32GB, 0.25 ns between them. That is the figure that reconciles the two spec sheets: a CAS number counts cycles, and cycles mean nothing apart from the rate they are counted at. Corsair Vengeance DDR4-3200 SODIMM 2x16GB 2666 CL18 runs 2666 MT/s at CL18; G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4-3200 SODIMM 1x32GB runs 3200 MT/s at CL22.
Transfer rate
G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4-3200 SODIMM 1x32GB carries the higher rating, 3200 MT/s to 2666 MT/s for Corsair Vengeance DDR4-3200 SODIMM 2x16GB 2666 CL18 — 25600 MB/s per module against 21328 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.
