G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-4800 2x16GB vs G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-4800 2x16GB CL40: full breakdown
Value: price per gigabyte
There is no price-per-GB winner in this comparison: every kit is out of stock, and an out-of-stock price is not a value. On the last prices recorded, the figures were G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-4800 2x16GB at β¬15.117/GB. No usable price is on file for G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-4800 2x16GB CL40, so it cannot be ranked on price per GB at all.
Capacity and module layout
The G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-4800 2x16GB is 2x16GB and the G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-4800 2x16GB CL40 is 2x16GB. Every kit here totals 32GB, so capacity is not the deciding factor. All of them ship as matched multi-module sets, so each populates at least two channels out of the box; on a four-slot board that still leaves room to add capacity later.
Speed and latency
Clocks and timings: the G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-4800 2x16GB at 4,800 MT/s CL34 and the G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-4800 2x16GB CL40 at 4,800 MT/s CL40. True latency, where lower is better, favours the G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-4800 2x16GB at 14.2 ns against 16.7 ns on the G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-4800 2x16GB CL40. That is the figure that settles a higher-CAS-at-higher-clock argument; MT/s or CAS on its own does not.
Current price against MSRP
G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-4800 2x16GB and G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-4800 2x16GB CL40 are out of stock, so those prices are the last recorded rather than something you can pay today. No MSRP is on file for any of these kits, so street price is the only reference point.
Which of these 2 kits should you buy?
No recommendation today: every one of the 2 kits compared is out of stock, and a price-per-GB figure nobody can pay is not a value. On paper the G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-4800 2x16GB is the quickest at 4,800 MT/s, so it is the one to watch for. Wait for stock before committing β the price-per-GB order can change the moment one of them is listed again.
