Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x16GB 6000 CL38 vs Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-6400 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-6400 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 11.88 ns, against 12.67 ns for Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x16GB 6000 CL38 — a difference of 0.79 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 Impact DDR5-5600 2x16GB 6000 CL38 runs 6000 MT/s at CL38; Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-6400 2x16GB runs 6400 MT/s at CL38.
Transfer rate
Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-6400 2x16GB is rated 6400 MT/s against 6000 MT/s for Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x16GB 6000 CL38 — 51200 MB/s per module, against 48000 MB/s. That is peak transfer rate, not access time. Both kits are published at CL38, so the same count of cycles takes less time at the higher clock, and the true latency above is the directly comparable figure.
Price and tracked history
Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x16GB 6000 CL38 is tracked at 570,86 € — 17,84 € per gigabyte — and Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-6400 2x16GB at 635,59 €, or 19,86 €. Both are 32GB kits, so the totals compare directly: Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x16GB 6000 CL38 is 64,73 € less than Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-6400 2x16GB. 570,86 € is the lowest price this site has recorded for Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x16GB 6000 CL38.
