Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB vs Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x32GB CL30 in detail
True latency
Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x32GB CL30 is the lower-latency kit at 10.00 ns, against 14.29 ns for Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB — a difference of 4.29 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. Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL40; Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x32GB CL30 runs 6000 MT/s at CL30.
Transfer rate
Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x32GB CL30 is rated 6000 MT/s against 5600 MT/s for Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB — 48000 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
Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB is tracked at $769.99 — $24.06 per gigabyte — and Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x32GB CL30 at $947.56, or $29.61. Both are 32GB kits, so the totals compare directly: Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB is $177.57 less than Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x32GB CL30. At $769.99, Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB is running 2% below its own 90-day median. At $947.56, Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x32GB CL30 is running 12% below its own 90-day median.
