Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB vs G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-5600 2x32GB in detail
True latency
Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB is the lower-latency kit at 10.00 ns against 12.86 ns for G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-5600 2x32GB, 2.86 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 RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB runs 6400 MT/s at CL32; G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-5600 2x32GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL36.
Transfer rate
Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB carries the higher rating, 6400 MT/s to 5600 MT/s for G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-5600 2x32GB — 51200 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.
