Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6200 2x16GB vs Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6400 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6400 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 10.00 ns against 11.61 ns for Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6200 2x16GB, 1.61 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 DDR5-6200 2x16GB runs 6200 MT/s at CL36; Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6400 2x16GB runs 6400 MT/s at CL32.
Transfer rate
Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6400 2x16GB carries the higher rating, 6400 MT/s to 6200 MT/s for Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6200 2x16GB — 51200 MB/s per module against 49600 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.
Price and tracked history
Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6200 2x16GB is tracked at $539.99, or $16.87 per gigabyte; Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6400 2x16GB at $449.99, or $14.06. At the same 32GB, that puts Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6400 2x16GB $90.00 less than Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6200 2x16GB.
