Lexar ARES RGB LD5U16G60C34LA 16GB DDR5-6000 CL34 Review
This single 16GB Lexar ARES RGB module runs DDR5-6000 CL34
the standard stock-timing entry point into Lexar's ARES RGB lineup, built on Hynix A-die at a modest 43.3mm module height.
Performance
CL34 at 6000MT/s is 11.3ns true latency, a common stock bin at this speed; the Hynix A-die base is the same memory IC used in many well-regarded competing RGB kits.
Comparison to Alternatives
The tighter-binned Lexar ARES Gen2 RGB LD5U16G60C26LW in this catalog runs the same 6000MT/s at 8.7ns instead of 11.3ns; that part is the better latency pick if pricing is close.
