G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL36 vs TeamGroup T-Create Expert DDR5-6400 2x32GB in detail
True latency
TeamGroup T-Create Expert DDR5-6400 2x32GB is the lower-latency kit at 10.63 ns, against 12.00 ns for G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL36 — a difference of 1.38 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. G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL36 runs 6000 MT/s at CL36; TeamGroup T-Create Expert DDR5-6400 2x32GB runs 6400 MT/s at CL34.
Transfer rate
TeamGroup T-Create Expert DDR5-6400 2x32GB is rated 6400 MT/s against 6000 MT/s for G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL36 — 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
G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL36 is tracked at $979.99 — $15.31 per gigabyte — and TeamGroup T-Create Expert DDR5-6400 2x32GB at $1,099.99, or $17.19. Both are 64GB kits, so the totals compare directly: G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL36 is $120.00 less than TeamGroup T-Create Expert DDR5-6400 2x32GB.
Kit layout
G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL36 ships as 2 × 32GB and TeamGroup T-Create Expert DDR5-6400 2x32GB ships as 2 × 32GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Lighting, timings and ECC
On the lighting question: G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL36 does not have RGB lighting, and TeamGroup T-Create Expert DDR5-6400 2x32GB does not have RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL36 runs 36-36-36-96, and TeamGroup T-Create Expert DDR5-6400 2x32GB does not publish one. On error correction: G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL36 is published with no ECC, and the catalog does not state whether TeamGroup T-Create Expert DDR5-6400 2x32GB supports it. 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
