Crucial DDR5-5600 SODIMM 2x16GB vs Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 1x32GB 4800 CL38 in detail
True latency
Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 1x32GB 4800 CL38 is the lower-latency kit at 15.83 ns, against 16.43 ns for Crucial DDR5-5600 SODIMM 2x16GB — a difference of 0.60 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. Crucial DDR5-5600 SODIMM 2x16GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL46; Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 1x32GB 4800 CL38 runs 4800 MT/s at CL38.
Transfer rate
Crucial DDR5-5600 SODIMM 2x16GB is rated 5600 MT/s against 4800 MT/s for Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 1x32GB 4800 CL38 — 44800 MB/s per module, against 38400 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
Crucial DDR5-5600 SODIMM 2x16GB is tracked at 465,91 € — 14,56 € per gigabyte — and Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 1x32GB 4800 CL38 at 568,63 €, or 17,77 €. Both are 32GB kits, so the totals compare directly: Crucial DDR5-5600 SODIMM 2x16GB is 102,72 € less than Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 1x32GB 4800 CL38.
Kit layout
Crucial DDR5-5600 SODIMM 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 1x32GB 4800 CL38 ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Lighting and timings
On the lighting question: Crucial DDR5-5600 SODIMM 2x16GB does not have RGB lighting, and Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 1x32GB 4800 CL38 does not have RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: Crucial DDR5-5600 SODIMM 2x16GB does not publish one, and Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 1x32GB 4800 CL38 runs 40-40-40.
Which to buy
There is no single answer here, because each kit leads on one axis. Crucial DDR5-5600 SODIMM 2x16GB is the cheaper at the prices tracked here, and Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 1x32GB 4800 CL38 the quicker on true latency at 15.83 ns against 16.43 ns. Which matters more depends on the build and the budget, and that is not a call this page can make.
Common questions about this pair
- Is Crucial DDR5-5600 SODIMM 2x16GB faster than Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 1x32GB 4800 CL38?
- Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 1x32GB 4800 CL38 is, on true latency: 15.83 ns against 16.43 ns.
