Kingston ValueRAM DDR5-5600 SODIMM 1x8GB price history in ES: current low €167.99, 12-month low €40.80, 12-month median €141.43.
Above typical — consider waiting — current price is 16% above the 3-month median.
Bulk-friendly and unadorned, this SODIMM line skips the heatspreader design and lighting found on Kingston's gaming kits — sold to system builders and upgraders who mainly need a laptop's free slot filled at whatever speed that laptop's memory controller can actually use.
This listing is the 1×8GB configuration at 8GB, rated 5600 MT/s CL46. Ratings inside the family move independently of size — a smaller module can carry a slower official speed than a larger one, so match the number on the box to what your laptop's spec sheet calls for rather than assuming higher is simply better.
Everything here is DDR5 SODIMM, built for laptops and small-form-factor machines, not the UDIMM slots on a desktop board. Confirm your notebook takes SODIMM before ordering — the two form factors are not interchangeable.
CAMM2 and SODIMM are physically incompatible laptop memory formats. The difference is not speed at a given rating but how many channels each module carries, how the module attaches, and whether a machine can ever add memory rather than replace it.
Whether a laptop can be upgraded at all depends entirely on which of three physical memory formats it uses, and that has to be confirmed before comparing a single spec sheet.
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.
