Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6400 1x16GB vs Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6800 1x16GB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 10.00 ns. Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6400 1x16GB gets there at 6400 MT/s at CL32, Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6800 1x16GB at 6800 MT/s at CL34. CAS latency counts clock cycles rather than time, so a higher clock paired with a looser CAS number arrives at the same place — which is why these two spec sheets look different and the memory does not.
Transfer rate
Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6800 1x16GB carries the higher rating, 6800 MT/s to 6400 MT/s for Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6400 1x16GB — 54400 MB/s per module against 51200 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.
Price and tracked history
Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6400 1x16GB is tracked at 302,43 €, or 18,90 € per gigabyte; Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6800 1x16GB at 305,77 €, or 19,11 €. At the same 16GB, that puts Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6400 1x16GB 3,34 € less than Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6800 1x16GB. 305,77 € is the lowest this site has ever recorded for Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6800 1x16GB.
Kit layout
Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6400 1x16GB ships as 2 × 8GB and Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6800 1x16GB ships as 2 × 8GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
Lighting, timings and ECC
On lighting: Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6400 1x16GB is published with no RGB lighting, and Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6800 1x16GB is published with no RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple — the numbers after CAS — Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6400 1x16GB is 32-39-39, and Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6800 1x16GB publishes none. On error correction: Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6400 1x16GB is published without ECC, and the catalog does not state whether Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6800 1x16GB has it. ECC is a board and CPU feature as much as a module one, so it is worth having only where the platform can use it.
Which to buy
Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6400 1x16GB leads on price alone. The two reconcile to the same 10.00 ns of true latency, so what separates them is only what this site has tracked them at. Cheaper, then, and not faster; this page claims nothing more.
