ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ vs Corsair CMK16GX5M2Y6000Z36: Comparison
ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ vs Corsair CMK16GX5M2Y6000Z36: the cas latency difference
On cas latency the spread is 64%, ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ 22 against Corsair CMK16GX5M2Y6000Z36 36, so ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ takes it. Add capacity per module to that, 16 GB on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus 8 GB on the Corsair CMK16GX5M2Y6000Z36, and the pattern holds. Peak bandwidth runs the same way, 25.6 GB/s on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus 96.0 GB/s on the Corsair CMK16GX5M2Y6000Z36, another win for Corsair CMK16GX5M2Y6000Z36. Corsair CMK16GX5M2Y6000Z36 also leads on true latency, 13.8 ns on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus 12.0 ns on the Corsair CMK16GX5M2Y6000Z36. There is a split on ddr generation as well, DDR4 on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus DDR5 on the Corsair CMK16GX5M2Y6000Z36. Module count is not the same on both, 1 on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus 2 on the Corsair CMK16GX5M2Y6000Z36. Ram segment is not the same on both, Industrial/Embedded on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus Desktop DDR5 on the Corsair CMK16GX5M2Y6000Z36. They differ on form factor too, DIMM on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus Desktop DIMM on the Corsair CMK16GX5M2Y6000Z36. Platform optimisation is not the same on both, JEDEC Only on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus AM5 on the Corsair CMK16GX5M2Y6000Z36.
Who each one is for
The Corsair CMK16GX5M2Y6000Z36 suits AM5 builds that want the 6000MT/s 1:1 sweet spot, though it is not built for manual timing tuning: memory chips are not disclosed and adding a second kit later for four sticks. It is not the one for latency-focused builds: 68% of desktop DDR5 kits are as tight or tighter.
