G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 2x16GB 3600 CL16 vs TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB in detail
True latency
TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 7.78 ns against 8.89 ns for G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 2x16GB 3600 CL16, 1.11 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. G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 2x16GB 3600 CL16 runs 3600 MT/s at CL16; TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB runs 3600 MT/s at CL14.
Transfer rate
Both kits are rated 3600 MT/s, or 28800 MB/s per module. They part company on CAS latency instead of on clock, so the true-latency figures above are what tells them apart.
Kit layout
G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 2x16GB 3600 CL16 ships as 2 × 16GB and TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
Lighting
On lighting: G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 2x16GB 3600 CL16 has RGB lighting, and TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB is published with no RGB lighting.
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, TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB is the quicker at 7.78 ns of true latency.
