ADATA AX5U5200C3816G-B 16GB DDR5-5200 vs G.Skill Trident Z5 Royal Neo RGB: the capacity difference
The gap that matters here is capacity: ADATA AX5U5200C3816G-B 16GB DDR5-5200 16 GB against G.Skill Trident Z5 Royal Neo RGB 48 GB, which puts G.Skill Trident Z5 Royal Neo RGB 67% ahead.

Add true latency to that, 14.6 ns on the ADATA AX5U5200C3816G-B 16GB DDR5-5200 versus 8.7 ns on the G.Skill Trident Z5 Royal Neo RGB, and the pattern holds. Cas latency runs the same way, 38 on the ADATA AX5U5200C3816G-B 16GB DDR5-5200 versus 26 on the G.Skill Trident Z5 Royal Neo RGB, another win for G.Skill Trident Z5 Royal Neo RGB.
Which should you buy, ADATA AX5U5200C3816G-B 16GB DDR5-5200 or G.Skill Trident Z5 Royal Neo RGB?
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 not the pick for gaming or performance-focused builds. The G.Skill Trident Z5 Royal Neo RGB is the one to take for high-capacity AM5 workstation or creator builds wanting Royal Neo styling, though it is the wrong buy for gaming-only builds where 48GB is more capacity than needed. It also earns its place with builders assembling a 96GB dual-channel pair from two matched 48GB sticks. It is the wrong buy for buyers on a budget who don't need the Royal Neo premium finish.
