Crucial DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x32GB 4800 CL40 vs G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-4800 2x16GB: full breakdown
Value: price per gigabyte
There is no price-per-GB winner in this comparison: every kit is out of stock, and an out-of-stock price is not a value. On the last prices recorded, the figures were Crucial DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x32GB 4800 CL40 at β¬14.816/GB and G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-4800 2x16GB at β¬15.117/GB.
Capacity and module layout
The Crucial DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x32GB 4800 CL40 is 1x32GB and the G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-4800 2x16GB is 2x16GB. Every kit here totals 32GB, so capacity is not the deciding factor. Crucial DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x32GB 4800 CL40 ships as a single module: that leaves slots free for a later capacity upgrade, but one stick runs single-channel on a dual-channel board until a matching second module is added. G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-4800 2x16GB arrives as a matched multi-module kit and populates at least two channels out of the box.
Speed and latency
Clocks and timings: the Crucial DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x32GB 4800 CL40 at 4,800 MT/s CL40 and the G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-4800 2x16GB at 4,800 MT/s CL34. True latency, where lower is better, favours the G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-4800 2x16GB at 14.2 ns against 16.7 ns on the Crucial DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x32GB 4800 CL40. That is the figure that settles a higher-CAS-at-higher-clock argument; MT/s or CAS on its own does not.
Current price against MSRP
Crucial DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x32GB 4800 CL40 and G.Skill Ripjaws SO-DIMM DDR5-4800 2x16GB are out of stock, so those prices are the last recorded rather than something you can pay today. No MSRP is on file for any of these kits, so street price is the only reference point.
Which of these 2 kits should you buy?
No recommendation today: every one of the 2 kits compared is out of stock, and a price-per-GB figure nobody can pay is not a value. On paper the Crucial DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x32GB 4800 CL40 is the quickest at 4,800 MT/s, so it is the one to watch for. Wait for stock before committing β the price-per-GB order can change the moment one of them is listed again.
