The speed figures are near enough to ignore, 5200 MT/s on the ADATA AX5U5200C3816G-B 16GB DDR5-5200 versus 5600 MT/s on the Corsair CMK5X32G2B56Z40A2 32GB. On cas latency there is little in it, 38 on the ADATA AX5U5200C3816G-B 16GB DDR5-5200 versus 40 on the Corsair CMK5X32G2B56Z40A2 32GB. The true latency figures are near enough to ignore, 14.6 ns on the ADATA AX5U5200C3816G-B 16GB DDR5-5200 versus 14.3 ns on the Corsair CMK5X32G2B56Z40A2 32GB. On peak bandwidth there is little in it, 41.6 GB/s on the ADATA AX5U5200C3816G-B 16GB DDR5-5200 versus 44.8 GB/s on the Corsair CMK5X32G2B56Z40A2 32GB.
ADATA AX5U5200C3816G-B 16GB DDR5-5200 vs Corsair CMK5X32G2B56Z40A2 32GB: which one fits your build
The ADATA AX5U5200C3816G-B 16GB DDR5-5200 is the one to take for system builders and OEM configurations and budget upgrades where brand styling doesn't matter, though it is the wrong buy for gaming or performance-focused builds. The Corsair CMK5X32G2B56Z40A2 32GB suits filling a single 32GB DDR5 slot on a budget and matching an existing 5600MT/s single-module system. It is not the one for new builds where the 6000MT/s single stick is available for similar money.
Where the two are identical
Everything else lines up. Ddr generation, module count, ram segment and form factor read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing.
