Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB vs Lexar ARES RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 10.00 ns. The two spec sheets state the same clock and the same CAS grade — 6400 MT/s at CL32 either way — and true latency is those two figures reconciled, so it comes out the same for each.
Transfer rate
Both kits are rated 6400 MT/s — 51200 MB/s per module — and both are published at CL32. The true latency above is computed from exactly those two figures, so it lands in the same place for each.
Price and tracked history
Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB is tracked at £442.74 — £13.84 per gigabyte — and Lexar ARES RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB at £430.99, or £13.47. Both are 32GB kits, so the totals compare directly: Lexar ARES RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB is £11.75 less than Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB. At £430.99, Lexar ARES RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB is running 27% below its own 90-day median.
Kit layout
Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and Lexar ARES RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Voltage
Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB is specified at 1.35 V and Lexar ARES RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB at 1.4 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile asks the board for.
