Corsair Dominator Titanium RGB DDR5-6600 2x16GB 5600 CL36 vs Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Corsair Dominator Titanium RGB DDR5-6600 2x16GB 5600 CL36 is the lower-latency kit at 12.86 ns, against 16.43 ns for Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 2x16GB — a difference of 3.57 ns. That figure is what reconciles the two spec sheets: CAS latency counts clock cycles, so it only means something next to the clock it counts. Corsair Dominator Titanium RGB DDR5-6600 2x16GB 5600 CL36 runs 5600 MT/s at CL36; Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 2x16GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL46.
Transfer rate
Both kits are rated 5600 MT/s, which is 44800 MB/s per module. Their spec sheets part company on CAS latency rather than on clock, so the true-latency figures above are what separates them.
Kit layout
Corsair Dominator Titanium RGB DDR5-6600 2x16GB 5600 CL36 ships as 2 × 16GB and Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Voltage
Corsair Dominator Titanium RGB DDR5-6600 2x16GB 5600 CL36 is specified at 1.4 V and Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 2x16GB at 1.1 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile asks the board for.
Lighting, timings and ECC
On the lighting question: Corsair Dominator Titanium RGB DDR5-6600 2x16GB 5600 CL36 is published with RGB lighting, and Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 2x16GB does not have RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: Corsair Dominator Titanium RGB DDR5-6600 2x16GB 5600 CL36 runs 32-39-39-76, and Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 2x16GB runs 46-45-45. On error correction: Corsair Dominator Titanium RGB DDR5-6600 2x16GB 5600 CL36 is published with no ECC, and the catalog does not state whether Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 2x16GB supports it. Whether ECC is worth having depends on the platform as much as the modules — the board and the CPU have to support it too.
Which to buy
At least one of these kits has no tracked price right now, so this page has no buying answer to give: which is worth more depends on what each costs, and that is exactly what is missing. On specifications alone, Corsair Dominator Titanium RGB DDR5-6600 2x16GB 5600 CL36 has the lower true latency at 12.86 ns.
