ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB vs G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 10.00 ns by different routes: ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB at 6400 MT/s at CL32, G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB at 6000 MT/s at CL30. A CAS number counts cycles rather than time, so a higher clock absorbs a looser one and the two arrive together — which is why these spec sheets look different and the memory does not.
Transfer rate
ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB is rated 6400 MT/s against 6000 MT/s for G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB — 51200 MB/s per module, against 48000 MB/s. That is peak transfer rate, not access time: reaching a higher clock costs more cycles on each access, which is why the CAS numbers differ too, and why the true latency above is the figure that compares directly.
Price and tracked history
ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB is tracked at $699.00 — $21.84 per gigabyte — and G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB at $999.90, or $31.25. Both are 32GB kits, so the totals compare directly: ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB is $300.90 less than G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB. $699.00 is the lowest price this site has recorded for ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB.
