ADATA Premier DDR5-5600 1x16GB vs Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6400 1x16GB in detail
True latency
Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6400 1x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 10.00 ns, against 16.43 ns for ADATA Premier DDR5-5600 1x16GB — a difference of 6.43 ns. That figure is what reconciles the two spec sheets: CAS latency counts clock cycles, so it only means something next to the clock it counts. ADATA Premier DDR5-5600 1x16GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL46; Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6400 1x16GB runs 6400 MT/s at CL32.
Transfer rate
Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6400 1x16GB is rated 6400 MT/s against 5600 MT/s for ADATA Premier DDR5-5600 1x16GB — 51200 MB/s per module, against 44800 MB/s. That is peak transfer rate, not access time: reaching a higher clock costs more cycles on each access, which is why the CAS numbers differ too, and why the true latency above is the figure that compares directly.
Price and tracked history
ADATA Premier DDR5-5600 1x16GB is tracked at $399.99 — $25.00 per gigabyte — and Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6400 1x16GB at $373.23, or $23.33. Both are 16GB kits, so the totals compare directly: Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6400 1x16GB is $26.76 less than ADATA Premier DDR5-5600 1x16GB. At $399.99, ADATA Premier DDR5-5600 1x16GB is running 9% below its own 90-day median. At $373.23, Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6400 1x16GB is running 22% below its own 90-day median.
Kit layout
ADATA Premier DDR5-5600 1x16GB ships as 1 × 16GB, Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6400 1x16GB ships as 2 × 8GB. That is a real difference and not a ranking: more sticks fill more channels on a board that has them, while fewer sticks leave slots free for a later addition. Which suits depends on the board and on whether more memory is planned.
Voltage
ADATA Premier DDR5-5600 1x16GB is specified at 1.1 V and Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6400 1x16GB at 1.4 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile asks the board for.
Lighting, timings and ECC
On the lighting question: ADATA Premier DDR5-5600 1x16GB does not have RGB lighting, and Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6400 1x16GB does not have RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: ADATA Premier DDR5-5600 1x16GB does not publish one, and Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6400 1x16GB runs 32-39-39. On error correction: the catalog does not state whether ADATA Premier DDR5-5600 1x16GB supports it, and Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6400 1x16GB is published with no ECC. Whether ECC is worth having depends on the platform as much as the modules — the board and the CPU have to support it too.
Which to buy
Both axes this page measures point to Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6400 1x16GB: 10.00 ns of true latency against 16.43 ns, and the lower of the two tracked prices.
