ADATA Premier DDR5-5600 1x16GB vs Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 1x16GB 4800 CL40 in detail
True latency
ADATA Premier DDR5-5600 1x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 16.43 ns, against 16.67 ns for Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 1x16GB 4800 CL40 — a difference of 0.24 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. ADATA Premier DDR5-5600 1x16GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL46; Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 1x16GB 4800 CL40 runs 4800 MT/s at CL40.
Transfer rate
ADATA Premier DDR5-5600 1x16GB is rated 5600 MT/s against 4800 MT/s for Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 1x16GB 4800 CL40 — 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
ADATA Premier DDR5-5600 1x16GB is tracked at 212,30 € — 13,27 € per gigabyte — and Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 1x16GB 4800 CL40 at 230,71 €, or 14,42 €. Both are 16GB kits, so the totals compare directly: ADATA Premier DDR5-5600 1x16GB is 18,41 € less than Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 1x16GB 4800 CL40. At 212,30 €, ADATA Premier DDR5-5600 1x16GB is running 9% below its own 90-day median. 230,71 € is the lowest price this site has recorded for Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 1x16GB 4800 CL40.
Kit layout
ADATA Premier DDR5-5600 1x16GB ships as 1 × 16GB, Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 1x16GB 4800 CL40 ships as 2 × 8GB. That is a real difference and not a ranking: more sticks fill more channels on a board that has them, while fewer sticks leave slots free for a later addition. Which suits depends on the board and on whether more memory is planned.
Lighting and timings
