Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL30 vs Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6800 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 10.00 ns by different routes: Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL30 at 6000 MT/s at CL30, Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6800 2x16GB at 6800 MT/s at CL34. 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
Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6800 2x16GB is rated 6800 MT/s against 6000 MT/s for Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL30 — 54400 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.
Kit layout
Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL30 ships as 2 × 16GB and Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6800 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
