Corsair Vengeance DDR5-4800 SODIMM 2x48GB vs G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-5600 2x48GB CL46 in detail
True latency
G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-5600 2x48GB CL46 is the lower-latency kit at 16.43 ns against 16.67 ns for Corsair Vengeance DDR5-4800 SODIMM 2x48GB, 0.24 ns between them. That is the figure that reconciles the two spec sheets: a CAS number counts cycles, and cycles mean nothing apart from the rate they are counted at. Corsair Vengeance DDR5-4800 SODIMM 2x48GB runs 4800 MT/s at CL40; G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-5600 2x48GB CL46 runs 5600 MT/s at CL46.
Transfer rate
G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-5600 2x48GB CL46 carries the higher rating, 5600 MT/s to 4800 MT/s for Corsair Vengeance DDR5-4800 SODIMM 2x48GB — 44800 MB/s per module against 38400 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
Corsair Vengeance DDR5-4800 SODIMM 2x48GB ships as 2 × 48GB and G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-5600 2x48GB CL46 ships as 2 × 48GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
Lighting and timings
On lighting: Corsair Vengeance DDR5-4800 SODIMM 2x48GB is published with no RGB lighting, and G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-5600 2x48GB CL46 is published with no RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple — the numbers after CAS — Corsair Vengeance DDR5-4800 SODIMM 2x48GB publishes none, and G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-5600 2x48GB CL46 is 46-45-45-89.
