Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x16GB 6000 CL38 vs Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-6400 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-6400 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 11.88 ns, against 12.67 ns for Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x16GB 6000 CL38 — a difference of 0.79 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 Impact DDR5-5600 2x16GB 6000 CL38 runs 6000 MT/s at CL38; Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-6400 2x16GB runs 6400 MT/s at CL38.
Transfer rate
Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-6400 2x16GB is rated 6400 MT/s against 6000 MT/s for Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x16GB 6000 CL38 — 51200 MB/s per module, against 48000 MB/s. That is peak transfer rate, not access time. Both kits are published at CL38, so the same count of cycles takes less time at the higher clock, and the true latency above is the directly comparable figure.
Kit layout
Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x16GB 6000 CL38 ships as 2 × 16GB and Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-6400 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Lighting and timings
On the lighting question: Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x16GB 6000 CL38 does not have RGB lighting, and Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-6400 2x16GB does not have RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x16GB 6000 CL38 runs 40-40-40, and Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-6400 2x16GB does not publish one.
Which to buy
Without a tracked price for both, this page cannot say which to buy — the answer depends on cost, and cost is what is absent. What the specifications do say is that Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-6400 2x16GB has the lower true latency, 11.88 ns.
