KLEVV FIT V DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 vs Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB in detail
True latency
KLEVV FIT V DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 is the lower-latency kit at 9.33 ns against 9.50 ns for Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB, 0.17 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. KLEVV FIT V DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 runs 6000 MT/s at CL28; Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB runs 8000 MT/s at CL38.
Transfer rate
Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB carries the higher rating, 8000 MT/s to 6000 MT/s for KLEVV FIT V DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 — 64000 MB/s per module against 48000 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.
