Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB vs Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 in detail
True latency
Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 9.14 ns against 9.27 ns for Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38, 0.13 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. Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB runs 7000 MT/s at CL32; Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 runs 8200 MT/s at CL38.
Transfer rate
Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 carries the higher rating, 8200 MT/s to 7000 MT/s for Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB — 65600 MB/s per module against 56000 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
Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB is tracked at 936,06 €, or 29,25 € per gigabyte; Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 at 1049,99 €, or 32,81 €. At the same 32GB, that puts Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-7000 2x16GB 113,93 € less than Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38.
