G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-5600 2x32GB vs G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26 in detail
True latency
G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26 is the lower-latency kit at 8.67 ns against 12.86 ns for G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-5600 2x32GB, 4.19 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. G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-5600 2x32GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL36; G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26 runs 6000 MT/s at CL26.
Transfer rate
G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26 carries the higher rating, 6000 MT/s to 5600 MT/s for G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-5600 2x32GB — 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
G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-5600 2x32GB is tracked at 1195,00 €, or 18,67 € per gigabyte; G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26 at 1684,24 €, or 26,32 €. At the same 64GB, that puts G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-5600 2x32GB 489,24 € less than G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26. G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-5600 2x32GB's 1195,00 € sits 2% under its own 90-day median. G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26's 1684,24 € sits 3% under its own 90-day median.
Kit layout
G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-5600 2x32GB ships as 2 × 32GB and G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26 ships as 2 × 32GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
Lighting, timings and ECC
On lighting: G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-5600 2x32GB is published with no RGB lighting, and G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26 has RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple — the numbers after CAS — G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-5600 2x32GB publishes none, and G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26 is 26-36-36-96. On error correction: the catalog does not state whether G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-5600 2x32GB has it, and G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26 is published without ECC. ECC is a board and CPU feature as much as a module one, so it is worth having only where the platform can use it.
Which to buy
The two split the axes this page measures, so no one kit is the answer. The lower tracked price belongs to G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-5600 2x32GB; the lower true latency to G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26, 8.67 ns against 12.86 ns. Weighing money against latency is a decision about the machine, and it stays with the reader.
Common questions about this pair
