Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 vs Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB in detail

True latency

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 is the lower-latency kit at 12.67 ns against 14.29 ns for Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB, 1.62 ns between them. That is the figure that reconciles the two spec sheets: a CAS number counts cycles, and cycles mean nothing apart from the rate they are counted at. Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 runs 6000 MT/s at CL38; Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL40.

Transfer rate

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 carries the higher rating, 6000 MT/s to 5600 MT/s for Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB — 48000 MB/s per module against 44800 MB/s. That is peak transfer rate, not access time: a higher clock is reached by counting more cycles for each access, which is why the CAS numbers differ too and why the true latency above is the directly comparable figure.

Kit layout

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL38 ships as 2 × 16GB and Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
