Corsair Dominator Titanium RGB DDR5-6600 2x16GB 5600 CL36 vs Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Corsair Dominator Titanium RGB DDR5-6600 2x16GB 5600 CL36 is the lower-latency kit at 12.86 ns, against 16.43 ns for Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 2x16GB — a difference of 3.57 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. Corsair Dominator Titanium RGB DDR5-6600 2x16GB 5600 CL36 runs 5600 MT/s at CL36; Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 2x16GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL46.
Transfer rate
Both kits are rated 5600 MT/s, which is 44800 MB/s per module. Their spec sheets part company on CAS latency rather than on clock, so the true-latency figures above are what separates them.
Price and tracked history
Corsair Dominator Titanium RGB DDR5-6600 2x16GB 5600 CL36 is tracked at $379.95 — $11.87 per gigabyte — and Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 2x16GB at $609.95, or $19.06. Both are 32GB kits, so the totals compare directly: Corsair Dominator Titanium RGB DDR5-6600 2x16GB 5600 CL36 is $230.00 less than Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 2x16GB. $379.95 is the lowest price this site has recorded for Corsair Dominator Titanium RGB DDR5-6600 2x16GB 5600 CL36.
