Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 vs TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 is the lower-latency kit at 9.27 ns, against 9.50 ns for TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB — a difference of 0.23 ns. That figure is what reconciles the two spec sheets: CAS latency counts clock cycles, so it only means something next to the clock it counts. Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 runs 8200 MT/s at CL38; TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB runs 8000 MT/s at CL38.
Transfer rate
Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 is rated 8200 MT/s against 8000 MT/s for TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB — 65600 MB/s per module, against 64000 MB/s. That is peak transfer rate, not access time. Both kits are published at CL38, so the same count of cycles takes less time at the higher clock, and the true latency above is the directly comparable figure.
Price and tracked history
Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 is tracked at £399.99 — £12.50 per gigabyte — and TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB at £541.63, or £16.93. Both are 32GB kits, so the totals compare directly: Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 is £141.64 less than TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB. At £399.99, Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 is running 20% below its own 90-day median. At £541.63, TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB is running 4% below its own 90-day median.
Kit layout
Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 ships as 2 × 16GB and TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Lighting
On the lighting question: Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38 does not have RGB lighting, and TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-8000 2x16GB is published with RGB lighting.
Which to buy
Both axes this page measures point to Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5-8000 2x16GB 8200 CL38: 9.27 ns of true latency against 9.50 ns, and the lower of the two tracked prices.
