Kingston FURY Impact DDR4-3200 SODIMM 1x16GB vs PNY Performance DDR4-3200 SODIMM 1x16GB in detail

True latency

Both kits land on 12.50 ns. The two spec sheets state the same clock and the same CAS grade — 3200 MT/s at CL20 either way — and true latency is those two figures reconciled, so it comes out the same for each.

Transfer rate

Both kits are rated 3200 MT/s — 25600 MB/s per module — and both are published at CL20. The true latency above is computed from exactly those two figures, so it lands in the same place for each.

Kit layout

Kingston FURY Impact DDR4-3200 SODIMM 1x16GB ships as 1 × 16GB, PNY Performance DDR4-3200 SODIMM 1x16GB ships as 2 × 8GB. That is a real difference and not a ranking: more sticks fill more channels on a board that has them, while fewer sticks leave slots free for a later addition. Which suits depends on the board and on whether more memory is planned.

Lighting

On the lighting question: Kingston FURY Impact DDR4-3200 SODIMM 1x16GB does not have RGB lighting, and PNY Performance DDR4-3200 SODIMM 1x16GB does not have RGB lighting.

Which to buy
