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 493,29 € — 15,42 € per gigabyte — and Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x32GB CL30 at 172,05 €, or 5,38 €.
