ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB vs PNY XLR8 Gaming MAKO DDR5-6000 2x16GB in detail

True latency

ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 10.00 ns, against 13.33 ns for PNY XLR8 Gaming MAKO DDR5-6000 2x16GB — a difference of 3.33 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. ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB runs 6400 MT/s at CL32; PNY XLR8 Gaming MAKO DDR5-6000 2x16GB runs 6000 MT/s at CL40.

Transfer rate

ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB is rated 6400 MT/s against 6000 MT/s for PNY XLR8 Gaming MAKO 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.

Kit layout

ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and PNY XLR8 Gaming MAKO DDR5-6000 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.

Voltage

ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB is specified at 1.4 V and PNY XLR8 Gaming MAKO DDR5-6000 2x16GB at 1.3 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile asks the board for.

Lighting, timings and ECC

On the lighting question: ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB is published with RGB lighting, and PNY XLR8 Gaming MAKO DDR5-6000 2x16GB does not have RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB runs 32-39-39, and PNY XLR8 Gaming MAKO DDR5-6000 2x16GB does not publish one. On error correction: the catalog does not state whether ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB supports it, and PNY XLR8 Gaming MAKO DDR5-6000 2x16GB is published with no ECC. Whether ECC is worth having depends on the platform as much as the modules — the board and the CPU have to support it too.

Which to buy

Without a tracked price for both, this page cannot say which to buy — the answer depends on cost, and cost is what is absent. What the specifications do say is that ADATA XPG Lancer Blade RGB DDR5-6400 2x16GB has the lower true latency, 10.00 ns.

Common questions about this pair
