Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB vs TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x8GB in detail
True latency
TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x8GB is the lower-latency kit at 7.78 ns against 10.00 ns for Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB, 2.22 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. Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB runs 3200 MT/s at CL16; TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x8GB runs 3600 MT/s at CL14.
Transfer rate
TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x8GB carries the higher rating, 3600 MT/s to 3200 MT/s for Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB — 28800 MB/s per module against 25600 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
Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB is tracked at $99.97, or $6.25 per gigabyte; TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x8GB at $149.99, or $9.37. At the same 16GB, that puts Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB $50.02 less than TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x8GB. Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB's $99.97 sits 20% under its own 90-day median. $149.99 is the lowest this site has ever recorded for TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x8GB.
Kit layout
Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB ships as 2 × 8GB and TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x8GB ships as 2 × 8GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
Voltage
Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB is specified at 1.35 V and TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x8GB at 1.45 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile requests from the board.
Lighting and timings
On lighting: Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB is published with no RGB lighting, and TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x8GB is published with no RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple — the numbers after CAS — Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB is 16-18-18-38, and TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x8GB publishes none.
Which to buy
There is no single answer here, because each kit leads on one axis. Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine DDR4-3200 2x8GB is the cheaper at the prices tracked here, and TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x8GB the quicker on true latency at 7.78 ns against 10.00 ns. Which matters more depends on the build and the budget, and that is not a call this page can make.
