Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB vs Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-3600 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 10.00 ns by different routes: Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB at 3200 MT/s at CL16, Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-3600 2x16GB at 3600 MT/s at CL18. A CAS number counts cycles rather than time, so a higher clock absorbs a looser one and the two arrive together — which is why these spec sheets look different and the memory does not.
Transfer rate
Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-3600 2x16GB is rated 3600 MT/s against 3200 MT/s for Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB — 28800 MB/s per module, against 25600 MB/s. That is peak transfer rate, not access time: reaching a higher clock costs more cycles on each access, which is why the CAS numbers differ too, and why the true latency above is the figure that compares directly.
Kit layout
Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-3600 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
