Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 vs Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB in detail
True latency
Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 is the lower-latency kit at 9.33 ns, against 14.29 ns for Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB — a difference of 4.95 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. Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 runs 6000 MT/s at CL28; Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL40.
Transfer rate
Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 is rated 6000 MT/s against 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: 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.
Price and tracked history
Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 is tracked at $649.99 — $20.31 per gigabyte — and Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB at $578.69, or $18.08. Both are 32GB kits, so the totals compare directly: Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB is $71.30 less than Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28.
Kit layout
Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 ships as 2 × 16GB and Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Voltage
Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL28 is specified at 1.4 V and Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB at 1.25 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile asks the board for.
