Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x8GB 4800 CL38 vs PHS-memory DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x16GB 6400 CSODIMM
15.83 ns of true latency for Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x8GB 4800 CL38 against 16.25 ns for PHS-memory DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x16GB 6400 CSODIMM, so the first of those is the quicker to respond. No current price is tracked for at least one of the two, so the comparison below is of specifications rather than cost.

Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x8GB 4800 CL38 vs PHS-memory DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x16GB 6400 CSODIMM in detail
True latency
Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x8GB 4800 CL38 is the lower-latency kit at 15.83 ns against 16.25 ns for PHS-memory DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x16GB 6400 CSODIMM, 0.42 ns between them. That is the figure that reconciles the two spec sheets: a CAS number counts cycles, and cycles mean nothing apart from the rate they are counted at. Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x8GB 4800 CL38 runs 4800 MT/s at CL38; PHS-memory DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x16GB 6400 CSODIMM runs 6400 MT/s at CL52.
Transfer rate
PHS-memory DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x16GB 6400 CSODIMM carries the higher rating, 6400 MT/s to 4800 MT/s for Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x8GB 4800 CL38 — 51200 MB/s per module against 38400 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.
Kit layout
Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x8GB 4800 CL38 ships as 2 × 8GB and PHS-memory DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x16GB 6400 CSODIMM ships as 2 × 8GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
Lighting and timings
On lighting: Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x8GB 4800 CL38 is published with no RGB lighting, and PHS-memory DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x16GB 6400 CSODIMM is published with no RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple — the numbers after CAS — Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x8GB 4800 CL38 is 40-40-40, and PHS-memory DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x16GB 6400 CSODIMM publishes none.
Which to buy
The site holds no current price for at least one of these, so no buying answer follows: which is worth more turns on what each costs, and that figure is the one missing. On the specifications alone, Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x8GB 4800 CL38 is the quicker at 15.83 ns of true latency.
Common questions about this pair
- Is Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x8GB 4800 CL38 faster than PHS-memory DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x16GB 6400 CSODIMM?
- Yes, on true latency: 15.83 ns for Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x8GB 4800 CL38 against 16.25 ns for PHS-memory DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x16GB 6400 CSODIMM. Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x8GB 4800 CL38 runs 4800 MT/s at CL38 and PHS-memory DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x16GB 6400 CSODIMM runs 6400 MT/s at CL52, and the CAS numbers alone will not settle it — they count clock cycles, not time.
- Which of these two should I buy?
- The site holds no current price for at least one of these, so no buying answer follows: which is worth more turns on what each costs, and that figure is the one missing. On the specifications alone, Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 2x8GB 4800 CL38 is the quicker at 15.83 ns of true latency.
