Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB vs G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 10.00 ns by different routes: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB at 6400 MT/s at CL32, G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB at 6000 MT/s at CL30. 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
Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB is rated 6400 MT/s against 6000 MT/s for G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB — 51200 MB/s per module, against 48000 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.
Price and tracked history
Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB is tracked at 1 115,83 € — 17,43 € per gigabyte — and G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB at 1 222,66 €, or 19,10 €. Both are 64GB kits, so the totals compare directly: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB is 106,83 € less than G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB. At 1 115,83 €, Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB is running 18% below its own 90-day median.
Kit layout
Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB ships as 2 × 32GB and G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB ships as 2 × 32GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Lighting, timings and ECC
On the lighting question: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB is published with RGB lighting, and G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB does not have RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB runs 32-40-40-84, and G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB runs 30-40-40-96. On error correction: the catalog does not state whether Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB supports it, and G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB is published with no ECC. Whether ECC is worth having depends on the platform as much as the modules — the board and the CPU have to support it too.
Which to buy
Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB leads on price alone. The two reconcile to the same 10.00 ns of true latency, so what separates them is only what this site has tracked them at. Cheaper, then, and not faster; this page claims nothing more.
