Who each one is for
Buy the Corsair CMK5X32G2A48C40A2 32GB for maximum single-stick capacity when speed isn't the priority, though it is the wrong buy for new builds needing dual-channel, buy a matched kit. It also earns its place with filling a single DDR5 slot on a budget or older motherboard with limited memory-speed validation. It is the wrong buy for gaming or productivity builds where memory bandwidth matters, pick a 6000MT/s single stick instead.
