Kingston FURY Beast DDR4-3200 2x16GB 3600 CL18 vs Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-3200 1x32GB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 10.00 ns. Kingston FURY Beast DDR4-3200 2x16GB 3600 CL18 gets there at 3600 MT/s at CL18, Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-3200 1x32GB at 3200 MT/s at CL16. CAS latency counts clock cycles rather than time, so a higher clock paired with a looser CAS number arrives at the same place — which is why these two spec sheets look different and the memory does not.
Transfer rate
Kingston FURY Beast DDR4-3200 2x16GB 3600 CL18 carries the higher rating, 3600 MT/s to 3200 MT/s for Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-3200 1x32GB — 28800 MB/s per module against 25600 MB/s. That is peak transfer rate, not access time: a higher clock is reached by counting more cycles for each access, which is why the CAS numbers differ too and why the true latency above is the directly comparable figure.
Kit layout
Kingston FURY Beast DDR4-3200 2x16GB 3600 CL18 ships as 2 × 16GB and Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-3200 1x32GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
