ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB vs G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 10.00 ns by different routes: ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB at 6400 MT/s at CL32, G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB at 6000 MT/s at CL30. A CAS number counts cycles rather than time, so a higher clock absorbs a looser one and the two arrive together — which is why these spec sheets look different and the memory does not.
Transfer rate
ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB is rated 6400 MT/s against 6000 MT/s for G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB — 51200 MB/s per module, against 48000 MB/s. That is peak transfer rate, not access time: reaching a higher clock costs more cycles on each access, which is why the CAS numbers differ too, and why the true latency above is the figure that compares directly.
Price and tracked history
ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB is tracked at £515.67 — £16.11 per gigabyte — and G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB at £549.99, or £17.19. Both are 32GB kits, so the totals compare directly: ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB is £34.32 less than G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB. At £515.67, ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB is running 14% below its own 90-day median.
Kit layout
ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Voltage
ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB is specified at 1.4 V and G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB at 1.35 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile asks the board for.
Lighting, timings and ECC
On the lighting question: ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB is published with RGB lighting, and G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB does not have RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB runs 32-39-39, and G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB runs 30-38-38-96. On error correction: the catalog does not state whether ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB supports it, and G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB is published with no ECC. Whether ECC is worth having depends on the platform as much as the modules — the board and the CPU have to support it too.
