Which should you buy, ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ or Corsair CMK5X16G1B52C40A2 16GB?
The Corsair CMK5X16G1B52C40A2 16GB suits matching an existing 5200MT/s single-module system and budget single-stick DDR5 upgrades where price beats speed, though it is the wrong buy for gaming or bandwidth-sensitive workloads. It is not the one for new builds where a 6000MT/s single stick is available for similar money.
Where the two are identical
Everything else lines up. Capacity per module and module count read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing.
