G.Skill TridentZ RGB DDR4-3600 2x16GB vs Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB in detail
True latency
G.Skill TridentZ RGB DDR4-3600 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 8.89 ns against 14.25 ns for Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB, 5.37 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. G.Skill TridentZ RGB DDR4-3600 2x16GB runs 3600 MT/s at CL16; Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB runs 2666 MT/s at CL19.
Transfer rate
G.Skill TridentZ RGB DDR4-3600 2x16GB carries the higher rating, 3600 MT/s to 2666 MT/s for Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB — 28800 MB/s per module against 21328 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.
Price and tracked history
G.Skill TridentZ RGB DDR4-3600 2x16GB is tracked at 313,03 €, or 9,78 € per gigabyte; Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB at 190,99 €, or 5,97 €. At the same 32GB, that puts Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 122,04 € less than G.Skill TridentZ RGB DDR4-3600 2x16GB. G.Skill TridentZ RGB DDR4-3600 2x16GB's 313,03 € sits 4% under its own 90-day median.
Kit layout
G.Skill TridentZ RGB DDR4-3600 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 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: G.Skill TridentZ RGB DDR4-3600 2x16GB has RGB lighting, and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB is published with no RGB lighting. On error correction: the catalog does not state whether G.Skill TridentZ RGB DDR4-3600 2x16GB has it, and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 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
There is no single answer here, because each kit leads on one axis. Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB is the cheaper at the prices tracked here, and G.Skill TridentZ RGB DDR4-3600 2x16GB the quicker on true latency at 8.89 ns against 14.25 ns. Which matters more depends on the build and the budget, and that is not a call this page can make.
