Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x32GB CL30 vs Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB in detail

True latency

Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x32GB CL30 is the lower-latency kit at 10.00 ns, against 12.67 ns for Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB — a difference of 2.67 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 DDR5-6000 1x32GB CL30 runs 6000 MT/s at CL30; Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB runs 6000 MT/s at CL38.

Transfer rate

Both kits are rated 6000 MT/s, which is 48000 MB/s per module. Their spec sheets part company on CAS latency rather than on clock, so the true-latency figures above are what separates them.
