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. G.Skill Sniper X DDR4-3600 2x16GB runs 3600 MT/s at CL19; Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB runs 3200 MT/s at CL16.
Transfer rate
G.Skill Sniper X DDR4-3600 2x16GB carries the higher rating, 3600 MT/s to 3200 MT/s for Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x16GB — 28800 MB/s per module against 25600 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.
