Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5200 2x16GB vs Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 1x32GB in detail
True latency
Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 1x32GB is the lower-latency kit at 14.29 ns, against 15.38 ns for Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5200 2x16GB — a difference of 1.10 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 DDR5-5200 2x16GB runs 5200 MT/s at CL40; Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 1x32GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL40.
Transfer rate
Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 1x32GB is rated 5600 MT/s against 5200 MT/s for Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5200 2x16GB — 44800 MB/s per module, against 41600 MB/s. That is peak transfer rate, not access time. Both kits are published at CL40, so the same count of cycles takes less time at the higher clock, and the true latency above is the directly comparable figure.
Kit layout
Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5200 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 1x32GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Lighting and timings
On the lighting question: Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5200 2x16GB does not have RGB lighting, and Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 1x32GB does not have RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5200 2x16GB runs 40-40-40, and Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 1x32GB runs 40-40-40.
Which to buy
The site holds no current price for at least one of these, so no buying answer follows: which is worth more turns on what each costs, and that figure is the one missing. On the specifications alone, Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 1x32GB is the quicker at 14.29 ns of true latency.
