ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ vs Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C36BV 16GB DDR5-6000 CL36: Comparison
ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ vs Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C36BV 16GB: the cas latency difference
Cas latency is where these two genuinely part company, ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ 22 against Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C36BV 16GB 36, a 64% lead for ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ. Add true latency to that, 13.8 ns on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus 12.0 ns on the Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C36BV 16GB, and the pattern holds. Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C36BV 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 LD5U16G60C36BV 16GB. There is a split on ddr generation as well, DDR4 on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus DDR5 on the Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C36BV 16GB. Ram segment is not the same on both, Industrial/Embedded on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus Desktop DDR5 on the Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C36BV 16GB. There is a split on form factor as well, DIMM on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus Desktop DIMM on the Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C36BV 16GB. There is a split on platform optimisation as well, JEDEC Only on the ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ versus Intel on the Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C36BV 16GB.
ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ vs Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C36BV 16GB: which one fits your build
The Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C36BV 16GB is the one to take for AM5/Intel builds not chasing maximum latency, though it is not the pick for performance builds. The same goes for budget ARES Gen2 RGB builds where the RGB styling matters more than the tightest timing. It is not the one for latency-focused buyers better served by the CL26-CL30 Gen2 RGB modules in this catalog.
What ADATA AD4U3200716G22-BADZ and Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C36BV 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.
