Kingston FURY Impact DDR4-3200 SODIMM 1x16GB vs PNY Performance DDR4-3200 SODIMM 1x16GB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 12.50 ns. The two spec sheets state the same clock and the same CAS grade — 3200 MT/s at CL20 either way — and true latency is those two figures reconciled, so it comes out the same for each.
Transfer rate
Both kits are rated 3200 MT/s — 25600 MB/s per module — and both are published at CL20. The true latency above is computed from exactly those two figures, so it lands in the same place for each.
