G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB vs Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL30 in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 10.00 ns. G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB gets there at 6400 MT/s at CL32, Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL30 at 6000 MT/s at CL30. CAS latency counts clock cycles rather than time, so a higher clock paired with a looser CAS number arrives at the same place — which is why these two spec sheets look different and the memory does not.
Transfer rate
G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB carries the higher rating, 6400 MT/s to 6000 MT/s for Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL30 — 51200 MB/s per module against 48000 MB/s. That is peak transfer rate, not access time: a higher clock is reached by counting more cycles for each access, which is why the CAS numbers differ too and why the true latency above is the directly comparable figure.
Price and tracked history
G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6400 2x32GB is tracked at $1,499.00, or $23.42 per gigabyte; Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 2x32GB CL30 at $1,179.99, or $18.44.
