Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB vs Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 10.00 ns, against 12.00 ns for Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 2x16GB — a difference of 2.00 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. Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB runs 6400 MT/s at CL32; Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 2x16GB runs 6000 MT/s at CL36.
Transfer rate
Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB is rated 6400 MT/s against 6000 MT/s for Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 2x16GB — 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.
Price and tracked history
Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB is tracked at £442.74 — £13.84 per gigabyte — and Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 2x16GB at £451.76, or £14.12. Both are 32GB kits, so the totals compare directly: Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB is £9.02 less than Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 2x16GB. At £451.76, Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 2x16GB is running 2% below its own 90-day median.
Kit layout
Crucial Pro DDR5-6400 Overclocking Memory 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
