Corsair Vengeance RGB RS DDR5-5200 2x16GB vs Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 9.14 ns against 15.38 ns for Corsair Vengeance RGB RS DDR5-5200 2x16GB, 6.24 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 RS DDR5-5200 2x16GB runs 5200 MT/s at CL40; Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB runs 7000 MT/s at CL32.
Transfer rate
Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB carries the higher rating, 7000 MT/s to 5200 MT/s for Corsair Vengeance RGB RS DDR5-5200 2x16GB — 56000 MB/s per module against 41600 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.
