TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB vs Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 in detail
True latency
TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 7.78 ns against 14.06 ns for Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15, 6.29 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. TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB runs 3600 MT/s at CL14; Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 runs 2133 MT/s at CL15.
Transfer rate
TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB carries the higher rating, 3600 MT/s to 2133 MT/s for Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 — 28800 MB/s per module against 17064 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
TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
Voltage
TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB is specified at 1.45 V and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 at 1.2 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile requests from the board.
Lighting and ECC
On lighting: TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB is published with no RGB lighting, and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 is published with no RGB lighting. On error correction: the catalog does not state whether TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB has it, and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 is published without ECC. ECC is a board and CPU feature as much as a module one, so it is worth having only where the platform can use it.
Which to buy
At least one of these kits has no tracked price right now, so this page has no buying answer to give: which is worth more depends on what each costs, and that is exactly what is missing. On specifications alone, TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB has the lower true latency at 7.78 ns.
Common questions about this pair
- Is TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB faster than Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15?
- Yes, on true latency: 7.78 ns for TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB against 14.06 ns for Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15. TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB runs 3600 MT/s at CL14 and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 runs 2133 MT/s at CL15, and the CAS numbers alone will not settle it — they count clock cycles, not time.
