Which should you buy, ADATA AX5U5200C3816G-B 16GB DDR5-5200 or Corsair CMP48GX5M2X8000C38 48GB?

Buy the ADATA AX5U5200C3816G-B 16GB DDR5-5200 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 CMP48GX5M2X8000C38 48GB is the one to take for high-end Intel Z790/Z890 builds chasing maximum DDR5 bandwidth and enthusiasts and overclockers with proven 8000MT/s-capable boards, though it is not built for AMD Ryzen builds and budget or mid-range boards without confirmed 8000MT/s support.

Where the two are identical

The common ground is wider than the gap: cas latency, ddr generation, ram segment and form factor are identical here.
