DDR4 vs DDR5, Explained
DDR5 doubled the bandwidth and moved power regulation onto the module. Whether that is worth paying for depends entirely on which platform you are building.

Overview
Vengeance RGB is the lit version of Corsair's mainstream DDR5 line, and unlike some RGB kits the lighting sits on top of an otherwise identical spec to its plain sibling — same rating, same timing, just with per-module illumination added.
This family runs 6800 MT/s at CL40 across both listings, with capacity as the distinguishing factor: 2×48GB configurations reach 96GB at the larger end. Because the name covers both a smaller build and a larger one, check the 2×48GB split against how many slots your board has free before assuming either is the default.
It's UDIMM for consumer desktop boards, and getting both the rated speed and the RGB lighting working typically means enabling the board's memory profile and having the matching lighting software installed — the module still functions without either.

CAMM2 vs SODIMM: Two Laptop Memory Formats, Not Two Speeds
CAMM2 and SODIMM are physically incompatible laptop memory formats. The difference is not speed at a given rating but how many channels each module carries, how the module attaches, and whether a machine can ever add memory rather than replace it.
