ADATA XPG Lancer NEON RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB vs G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 9.50 ns. The two spec sheets state the same clock and the same CAS grade — 8000 MT/s at CL38 either way — and true latency is those two figures reconciled, so it comes out the same for each.
Transfer rate
Both kits are rated 8000 MT/s — 64000 MB/s per module — and both are published at CL38. The true latency above is computed from exactly those two figures, so it lands in the same place for each.
