Crucial DDR4-3200 Desktop Memory 2x16GB 2133 CL15 vs TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 2x16GB in detail

True latency

TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 13.75 ns against 14.06 ns for Crucial DDR4-3200 Desktop Memory 2x16GB 2133 CL15, 0.32 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. Crucial DDR4-3200 Desktop Memory 2x16GB 2133 CL15 runs 2133 MT/s at CL15; TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 2x16GB runs 3200 MT/s at CL22.

Transfer rate

TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 2x16GB carries the higher rating, 3200 MT/s to 2133 MT/s for Crucial DDR4-3200 Desktop Memory 2x16GB 2133 CL15 — 25600 MB/s per module against 17064 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.

Kit layout

Crucial DDR4-3200 Desktop Memory 2x16GB 2133 CL15 ships as 2 × 16GB and TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.

Lighting and ECC

On lighting: Crucial DDR4-3200 Desktop Memory 2x16GB 2133 CL15 is published with no RGB lighting, and TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 2x16GB is published with no RGB lighting. On error correction: Crucial DDR4-3200 Desktop Memory 2x16GB 2133 CL15 is published without ECC, and TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 2x16GB 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

At least one of these kits has no tracked price right now, so this page has no buying answer to give: which is worth more depends on what each costs, and that is exactly what is missing. On specifications alone, TeamGroup Elite DDR4-3200 2x16GB has the lower true latency at 13.75 ns.
