Corsair Vengeance DDR5-5600 2x48GB vs Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x48GB CL36 in detail
True latency
Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x48GB CL36 is the lower-latency kit at 12.00 ns against 14.29 ns for Corsair Vengeance DDR5-5600 2x48GB, 2.29 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 DDR5-5600 2x48GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL40; Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x48GB CL36 runs 6000 MT/s at CL36.
Transfer rate
Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x48GB CL36 carries the higher rating, 6000 MT/s to 5600 MT/s for Corsair Vengeance DDR5-5600 2x48GB — 48000 MB/s per module against 44800 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
Corsair Vengeance DDR5-5600 2x48GB is tracked at 1620,22 €, or 16,88 € per gigabyte; Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x48GB CL36 at 1550,99 €, or 16,16 €. At the same 96GB, that puts Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x48GB CL36 69,23 € less than Corsair Vengeance DDR5-5600 2x48GB.
Kit layout
Corsair Vengeance DDR5-5600 2x48GB ships as 2 × 48GB and Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x48GB CL36 ships as 2 × 48GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
