Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB vs TeamGroup Elite DDR5-6400 2x16GB in detail

True latency

Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 14.29 ns, against 16.25 ns for TeamGroup Elite DDR5-6400 2x16GB — a difference of 1.96 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 DDR5-5600 2x16GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL40; TeamGroup Elite DDR5-6400 2x16GB runs 6400 MT/s at CL52.

Transfer rate

TeamGroup Elite DDR5-6400 2x16GB is rated 6400 MT/s against 5600 MT/s for Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB — 51200 MB/s per module, against 44800 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.

Kit layout

Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and TeamGroup Elite DDR5-6400 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
