ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ vs Corsair CMK5X32G2B60C40A2 32GB: Comparison

ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ vs Corsair CMK5X32G2B60C40A2 32GB: the cas latency difference

The gap that matters here is cas latency: ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ 22 against Corsair CMK5X32G2B60C40A2 32GB 40, which puts ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ 82% ahead. Add capacity per module to that, 16 GB on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus 32 GB on the Corsair CMK5X32G2B60C40A2 32GB, and the pattern holds. The true latency figures are near enough to ignore, 13.8 ns on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus 13.3 ns on the Corsair CMK5X32G2B60C40A2 32GB. Peak bandwidth runs the same way, 25.6 GB/s on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus 48.0 GB/s on the Corsair CMK5X32G2B60C40A2 32GB, another win for Corsair CMK5X32G2B60C40A2 32GB. They differ on ddr generation too, DDR4 on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus DDR5 on the Corsair CMK5X32G2B60C40A2 32GB. There is a split on ram segment as well, Industrial/Embedded on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus Desktop DDR5 on the Corsair CMK5X32G2B60C40A2 32GB. Form factor is not the same on both, DIMM on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus Desktop DIMM on the Corsair CMK5X32G2B60C40A2 32GB. They differ on platform optimisation too, JEDEC Only on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus AM5 on the Corsair CMK5X32G2B60C40A2 32GB.

Who each one is for

it is the wrong buy for new 64GB builds, buy the matched CMK64GX5M2B6000C40 kit instead. The same goes for adding a matching 32GB stick to an existing 6000MT/s single-module build.

Where the two are identical

Where they agree, they agree completely, module count included, so the decision does not turn on any of those.
