Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-3600 2x16GB vs TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR4-3200 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 10.00 ns. Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-3600 2x16GB gets there at 3600 MT/s at CL18, TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR4-3200 2x16GB at 3200 MT/s at CL16. CAS latency counts clock cycles rather than time, so a higher clock paired with a looser CAS number arrives at the same place — which is why these two spec sheets look different and the memory does not.
Transfer rate
Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-3600 2x16GB carries the higher rating, 3600 MT/s to 3200 MT/s for TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR4-3200 2x16GB — 28800 MB/s per module against 25600 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
Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-3600 2x16GB is tracked at 247,99 €, or 7,75 € per gigabyte; TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR4-3200 2x16GB at 278,27 €, or 8,70 €. At the same 32GB, that puts Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-3600 2x16GB 30,28 € less than TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR4-3200 2x16GB. Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-3600 2x16GB's 247,99 € sits 1% under its own 90-day median.
