ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB vs G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5-5600 2x16GB in detail
True latency
ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 10.00 ns against 12.86 ns for G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5-5600 2x16GB, 2.86 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. ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB runs 6400 MT/s at CL32; G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5-5600 2x16GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL36.
Transfer rate
ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB carries the higher rating, 6400 MT/s to 5600 MT/s for G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5-5600 2x16GB — 51200 MB/s per module against 44800 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
ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5-5600 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
