Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-5600 2x16GB vs Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 in detail
True latency
Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 is the lower-latency kit at 12.00 ns, against 14.29 ns for Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-5600 2x16GB — a difference of 2.29 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 Vengeance RGB DDR5-5600 2x16GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL40; Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 runs 6000 MT/s at CL36.
Transfer rate
Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 is rated 6000 MT/s against 5600 MT/s for Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-5600 2x16GB — 48000 MB/s per module, against 44800 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.
Kit layout
Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-5600 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Voltage
Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-5600 2x16GB is specified at 1.25 V and Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 at 1.4 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile asks the board for.
Lighting and timings
On the lighting question: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-5600 2x16GB is published with RGB lighting, and Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 is published with RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-5600 2x16GB runs 40-40-40-77, and Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 runs 36-40-40-96.
Which to buy
The site holds no current price for at least one of these, so no buying answer follows: which is worth more turns on what each costs, and that figure is the one missing. On the specifications alone, Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 is the quicker at 12.00 ns of true latency.
Common questions about this pair
- Is Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-5600 2x16GB faster than Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36?
- Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 is, on true latency: 12.00 ns against 14.29 ns. Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-5600 2x16GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL40 and Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 runs 6000 MT/s at CL36; the CAS numbers alone do not settle it, because they count clock cycles rather than time.
