ADATA
DDR5 · 5600 MT/s · CL46 · 1×16GB
Lowest price in GB across retailers
ADATA's Premier line is its entry DDR5 tier, sold here as a single UDIMM stick rather than a matched pair — 1×16GB totalling 16GB.
At 5600 MT/s CL46, this is a single-channel listing rather than the dual-stick kits most of this catalogue carries, so check whether your board and use case actually call for a pair before buying one module on its own — dual-channel operation needs two sticks installed together, not one on its own.
As with any DDR5 part, the rated speed only applies once the board's XMP or EXPO profile has been turned on in BIOS, rather than by default.
Flare X5 is a heatspreader-only DDR5-6000 line built for clearance-constrained builds, and within this 6000 MT/s grade every listing shares that one headline speed — the CL bin and capacity are the only things actually separating listings.
FURY Beast at 6000 spans three CL grades under one name plus a four-module 64GB option its 5600 sibling doesn't offer, which makes matching the exact SKU more important here than with most families.
DDR5 doubled the bandwidth and moved power regulation onto the module. Whether that is worth paying for depends entirely on which platform you are building.
Crucial Pro trades looks for a compatibility-first, overclocking-headroom pitch, and within this 6400 MT/s grade, CAS latency -- not the shared headline speed -- is the number that actually separates one listing from another.
16 GB is no longer comfortable, 32 GB is the sensible default, and 64 GB is a workload decision rather than a future-proofing one.
A 2x16GB kit sits at the highest-volume point on the memory market, and volume is what actually sets price per gigabyte — not capacity, and not how new a kit's specification is.
