G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26 vs TeamGroup T-Create Expert DDR5-6400 2x32GB in detail
True latency
G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26 is the lower-latency kit at 8.67 ns, against 10.63 ns for TeamGroup T-Create Expert DDR5-6400 2x32GB — a difference of 1.96 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 Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26 runs 6000 MT/s at CL26; 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 Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26 — 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 Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26 is tracked at $2,599.99 — $40.62 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: TeamGroup T-Create Expert DDR5-6400 2x32GB is $1,500.00 less than G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26.
Kit layout
G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26 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 Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26 is published with 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 Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26 runs 26-36-36-96, and TeamGroup T-Create Expert DDR5-6400 2x32GB does not publish one. On error correction: G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26 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
The two split the axes this page measures, so no one kit is the answer. The lower tracked price belongs to TeamGroup T-Create Expert DDR5-6400 2x32GB; the lower true latency to G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26, 8.67 ns against 10.63 ns. Weighing money against latency is a decision about the machine, and it stays with the reader.
Common questions about this pair
- Is G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26 faster than TeamGroup T-Create Expert DDR5-6400 2x32GB?
- G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26 is, on true latency: 8.67 ns against 10.63 ns. G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL26 runs 6000 MT/s at CL26 and TeamGroup T-Create Expert DDR5-6400 2x32GB runs 6400 MT/s at CL34; the CAS numbers alone do not settle it, because they count clock cycles rather than time.
