XPG Lancer Blade is ADATA's DDR5 line, sold under a "6000" name that covers speeds from 5200 to 6400 and CL ratings from 30 to 46 depending on the individual kit — a wider spread than the single number in the product title suggests.
This 1×16GB kit is 16GB, rated 6000 MT/s CL30. Because this family spans more speed and timing combinations than most single-named lines, two Lancer Blade kits of the same capacity can differ meaningfully in both figures — worth checking the printed rating rather than assuming it matches the family name.
This is unbuffered UDIMM DDR5 for consumer desktop boards, and the rated 6000 MT/s depends on the correct profile being enabled in BIOS.
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.
