G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB vs Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x32GB CL30 in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 10.00 ns. The two spec sheets state the same clock and the same CAS grade — 6000 MT/s at CL30 either way — and true latency is those two figures reconciled, so it comes out the same for each.
Transfer rate
Both kits are rated 6000 MT/s — 48000 MB/s per module — and both are published at CL30. The true latency above is computed from exactly those two figures, so it lands in the same place for each.
