Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x16GB CL36 vs Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6000 2x8GB CL36 in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 12.00 ns. The two spec sheets state the same clock and the same CAS grade — 6000 MT/s at CL36 either way — and true latency is those two figures reconciled, so it comes out the same for each.
Transfer rate
Both kits are rated 6000 MT/s — 48000 MB/s per module — and both are published at CL36. The true latency above is computed from exactly those two figures, so it lands in the same place for each.
Kit layout
Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x16GB CL36 ships as 2 × 8GB and Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6000 2x8GB CL36 ships as 2 × 8GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Voltage
Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x16GB CL36 is specified at 1.35 V and Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6000 2x8GB CL36 at 1.25 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile asks the board for.
