ADATA XPG Lancer Blade DDR5-6000 1x16GB 6400 CL32 vs Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x16GB CL30 in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 10.00 ns by different routes: ADATA XPG Lancer Blade DDR5-6000 1x16GB 6400 CL32 at 6400 MT/s at CL32, Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x16GB CL30 at 6000 MT/s at CL30. A CAS number counts cycles rather than time, so a higher clock absorbs a looser one and the two arrive together — which is why these spec sheets look different and the memory does not.
Transfer rate
ADATA XPG Lancer Blade DDR5-6000 1x16GB 6400 CL32 is rated 6400 MT/s against 6000 MT/s for Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x16GB CL30 — 51200 MB/s per module, against 48000 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.
