TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB vs Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 in detail
True latency
TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 7.78 ns against 14.06 ns for Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15, 6.29 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. TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB runs 3600 MT/s at CL14; Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 runs 2133 MT/s at CL15.
Transfer rate
TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB carries the higher rating, 3600 MT/s to 2133 MT/s for Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 — 28800 MB/s per module against 17064 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
TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB is tracked at 356,72 €, or 11,15 € per gigabyte; Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 at 188,99 €, or 5,91 €. At the same 32GB, that puts Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 167,73 € less than TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB. TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB's 356,72 € sits 0% under its own 90-day median. Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15's 188,99 € sits 0% under its own 90-day median.
Kit layout
TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
Voltage
TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB is specified at 1.45 V and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 at 1.2 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile requests from the board.
Lighting and ECC
On lighting: TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB is published with no RGB lighting, and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 is published with no RGB lighting. On error correction: the catalog does not state whether TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB has it, and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 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
The two split the axes this page measures, so no one kit is the answer. The lower tracked price belongs to Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15; the lower true latency to TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB, 7.78 ns against 14.06 ns. Weighing money against latency is a decision about the machine, and it stays with the reader.
