Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 1x8GB 4800 CL38 vs Kingston ValueRAM DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x8GB in detail
True latency
Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 1x8GB 4800 CL38 is the lower-latency kit at 15.83 ns against 16.43 ns for Kingston ValueRAM DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x8GB, 0.60 ns between them. That is the figure that reconciles the two spec sheets: a CAS number counts cycles, and cycles mean nothing apart from the rate they are counted at. Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 1x8GB 4800 CL38 runs 4800 MT/s at CL38; Kingston ValueRAM DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x8GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL46.
Transfer rate
Kingston ValueRAM DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x8GB carries the higher rating, 5600 MT/s to 4800 MT/s for Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 1x8GB 4800 CL38 — 44800 MB/s per module against 38400 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 Impact DDR5-5600 1x8GB 4800 CL38 ships as 2 × 4GB and Kingston ValueRAM DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x8GB ships as 2 × 4GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
Lighting and timings
On lighting: Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 1x8GB 4800 CL38 is published with no RGB lighting, and Kingston ValueRAM DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x8GB is published with no RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple — the numbers after CAS — Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 1x8GB 4800 CL38 is 40-40-40, and Kingston ValueRAM DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x8GB publishes none.
Which to buy
At least one of these kits has no tracked price right now, so this page has no buying answer to give: which is worth more depends on what each costs, and that is exactly what is missing. On specifications alone, Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 1x8GB 4800 CL38 has the lower true latency at 15.83 ns.
