Lexar ARES RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB vs Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6400 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 10.00 ns. Lexar ARES RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB gets there at 6000 MT/s at CL30, Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6400 2x16GB at 6400 MT/s at CL32. CAS latency counts clock cycles rather than time, so a higher clock paired with a looser CAS number arrives at the same place — which is why these two spec sheets look different and the memory does not.
Transfer rate
Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6400 2x16GB carries the higher rating, 6400 MT/s to 6000 MT/s for Lexar ARES RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB — 51200 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.
Kit layout
Lexar ARES RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6400 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
Lighting and timings
On lighting: Lexar ARES RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB has RGB lighting, and Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6400 2x16GB is published with no RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple — the numbers after CAS — Lexar ARES RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB is 30-38-38-76, and Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6400 2x16GB is 32-40-40-84.
