PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR4-3200 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 10.00 ns for PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR4-3200 2x16GB, 2.22 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. PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR4-3200 2x16GB runs 3200 MT/s at CL16; TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB runs 3600 MT/s at CL14.
Transfer rate
TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB carries the higher rating, 3600 MT/s to 3200 MT/s for PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X 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.
Kit layout
PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR4-3200 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
Voltage
PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR4-3200 2x16GB is specified at 1.35 V and TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB at 1.45 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile requests from the board.
Lighting and ECC
On lighting: PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR4-3200 2x16GB has RGB lighting, and TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB is published with no RGB lighting. On error correction: PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR4-3200 2x16GB is published without ECC, and the catalog does not state whether TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB has it. 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
The site holds no current price for at least one of these, so no buying answer follows: which is worth more turns on what each costs, and that figure is the one missing. On the specifications alone, TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB is the quicker at 7.78 ns of true latency.
Common questions about this pair
- Is PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR4-3200 2x16GB faster than TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB?
- Yes, on true latency: 7.78 ns for TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB against 10.00 ns for PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR4-3200 2x16GB. PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR4-3200 2x16GB runs 3200 MT/s at CL16 and TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB runs 3600 MT/s at CL14, and the CAS numbers alone will not settle it — they count clock cycles, not time.
