The clock cycles are shorter for the faster SODIMM, so they both work out to the same-ish latency.
I am just guessing, but maybe the larger sticks are on sale because few people buy single sticks of DDR5 at high capacity.
Yes, both come down to around 9ns for a read command. Thank you for doing the math btw! On top of that both CPUs in the FW12 support only up to 5200MT, so what CL does the 5600 stick have at 5200MT? In the end it doesnāt really matter but I am bored, soā¦
Sometimes the reason is that the shop with the lower-on-average prices doesnāt have the item in its sortiment. Maybe that store has only 32GB with 5600MT on stockā¦
Edit: English is not my native language, so I felt that I needed to rephrase my comment. It did not sound right. I also removed an off-topic tangent.
My understanding is that the CL will scale proportionally when a 5600MT/s stick runs at 5200MT/s, more or less.
I think the 5200 speed sticks from Crucial are discontinued. For whatever reason, I often see prices go up right when something is discontinued, but before stocks run out. At least here in the US. Not sure if something similar happens with sellers in Europe.
From the typical retailers I check for stuff like this, I canāt even find the 5200 sticks available.
