G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x16GB vs TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB in detail
True latency
TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 7.78 ns, against 8.89 ns for G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x16GB — a difference of 1.11 ns. That figure is what reconciles the two spec sheets: CAS latency counts clock cycles, so it only means something next to the clock it counts. G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x16GB runs 3600 MT/s at CL16; TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB runs 3600 MT/s at CL14.
Transfer rate
Both kits are rated 3600 MT/s, which is 28800 MB/s per module. Their spec sheets part company on CAS latency rather than on clock, so the true-latency figures above are what separates them.
Price and tracked history
G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x16GB is tracked at 277,61 € — 8,68 € per gigabyte — and TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB at 356,72 €, or 11,15 €.
