ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB vs G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 10.00 ns. ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB gets there at 6400 MT/s at CL32, G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB at 6000 MT/s at CL30. 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
ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB carries the higher rating, 6400 MT/s to 6000 MT/s for G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB — 51200 MB/s per module against 48000 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
ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB is tracked at £515.67, or £16.11 per gigabyte; G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB at £667.04, or £20.85.
