Latency Calculation:
Memory latency (in nanoseconds) is determined using this formula:
Latency (ns)=CAS Latency (CL)×2000Memory Speed (MT/s)\text{Latency (ns)} = \frac{\text{CAS Latency (CL)} \times 2000}{\text{Memory Speed (MT/s)}}Latency (ns)=Memory Speed (MT/s)CAS Latency (CL)×2000
For DDR5-5600:
Latency=46×20005600=16.43 ns\text{Latency} = \frac{46 \times 2000}{5600} = 16.43 \, \text{ns}Latency=560046×2000=16.43ns
Latency=40×20005600=14.29 ns\text{Latency} = \frac{40 \times 2000}{5600} = 14.29 \, \text{ns}Latency=560040×2000=14.29ns
Percentage Improvement:
Improvement (%)=Old Latency−New LatencyOld Latency×100\text{Improvement (\%)} = \frac{\text{Old Latency} - \text{New Latency}}{\text{Old Latency}} \times 100Improvement (%)=Old LatencyOld Latency−New Latency×100 Improvement=16.43−14.2916.43×100≈13%\text{Improvement} = \frac{16.43 - 14.29}{16.43} \times 100 \approx 13\%Improvement=16.4316.43−14.29×100≈13%
Conclusion:
Your new Kingston Fury RAM running at CL40 provides about a 13% improvement in memory latency compared to CL46. While this won't make a night-and-day difference in everyday tasks, it can improve overall responsiveness in memory-heavy workloads like gaming, video editing, or multitasking. Enjoy the boost!
