G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 2x16GB CL18 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 9.00 ns for G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 2x16GB CL18, 1.22 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 CL18 runs 4000 MT/s at CL18; TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB runs 3600 MT/s at CL14.
Transfer rate
G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 2x16GB CL18 carries the higher rating, 4000 MT/s to 3600 MT/s for TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB — 32000 MB/s per module against 28800 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.
Kit layout
G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 2x16GB CL18 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 CL18 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.
