ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ vs Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C26LW 16GB DDR5-6000 CL26: Comparison
ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ vs Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C26LW 16GB: the true latency difference
True latency is where these two genuinely part company, ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ 13.8 ns against Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C26LW 16GB 8.7 ns, a 59% lead for Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C26LW 16GB. Add cas latency to that, 22 on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus 26 on the Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C26LW 16GB, and the pattern holds. Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C26LW 16GB also leads on peak bandwidth, 25.6 GB/s on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus 48.0 GB/s on the Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C26LW 16GB. There is a split on ddr generation as well, DDR4 on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus DDR5 on the Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C26LW 16GB. There is a split on ram segment as well, Industrial/Embedded on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus Desktop DDR5 on the Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C26LW 16GB. They differ on form factor too, DIMM on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus Desktop DIMM on the Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C26LW 16GB. They differ on platform optimisation too, JEDEC Only on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus AM5 on the Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C26LW 16GB.
Who each one is for
it is the wrong buy for anyone needing a factory-matched dual-channel pair. The same goes for AM5 gaming builds wanting the tightest available RGB timing at 6000MT/s. Avoid it for buyers who prioritize brand track record over the tightest available CAS number.
What ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ and Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C26LW 16GB have in common
Everything else lines up. Capacity per module and module count read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing.
