Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB vs G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 10.00 ns by different routes: Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB at 6400 MT/s at CL32, G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB 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
Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB is rated 6400 MT/s against 6000 MT/s for G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB — 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
Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB is tracked at 449,99 € — 14,06 € per gigabyte — and G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB at 599,05 €, or 18,72 €.
