ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ vs Corsair CMK5X32G2B56Z40A2 32GB cas latency compared

The gap that matters here is cas latency: ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ 22 against Corsair CMK5X32G2B56Z40A2 32GB 40, which puts ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ 82% ahead. Corsair CMK5X32G2B56Z40A2 32GB also leads on capacity per module, 16 GB on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus 32 GB on the Corsair CMK5X32G2B56Z40A2 32GB. On true latency there is little in it, 13.8 ns on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus 14.3 ns on the Corsair CMK5X32G2B56Z40A2 32GB. Add peak bandwidth to that, 25.6 GB/s on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus 44.8 GB/s on the Corsair CMK5X32G2B56Z40A2 32GB, and the pattern holds. They differ on ddr generation too, DDR4 on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus DDR5 on the Corsair CMK5X32G2B56Z40A2 32GB. There is a split on ram segment as well, Industrial/Embedded on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus Desktop DDR5 on the Corsair CMK5X32G2B56Z40A2 32GB. Form factor is not the same on both, DIMM on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus Desktop DIMM on the Corsair CMK5X32G2B56Z40A2 32GB. They differ on platform optimisation too, JEDEC Only on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus AM5 on the Corsair CMK5X32G2B56Z40A2 32GB.

Who each one is for

The Corsair CMK5X32G2B56Z40A2 32GB is the one to take for filling a single 32GB DDR5 slot on a budget and matching an existing 5600MT/s single-module system. Avoid it for new builds where the 6000MT/s single stick is available for similar money.

Where the two are identical

Everything else lines up. Module count read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing.
