I about to build a new rig. I'm a bit out of the loop about the new hardware.

The new Rig will be based on AMD 7900X + B650E motherboard or Intel 14700K+Asus Rog Strix Z790-A . I hasvent decided the platform.
Mean while I'm buying the other parts.

Which ever platform I choose , DDR5 memory will be needed. Kingston Fury Beast 64 GB looks like it a good choise. I supports both Intel® XMP 3.0 Certified and AMD EXPO™ Certified standards.

The thing is AMD system supports 5200mhz at best and 14700 supports 5600mhz, without OC. Does this memory have inbuilt configs for these speeds. Or is 6000mhz the only speed it supports officially? I'm not going to OC the ram or the ram controller in the CPU.

Also AMD states . For max speed is the 32gb x 2 kit the correct kit? or should it be 16gb x 4, all slots filled?

2x1R DDR5-5200
2x2R DDR5-5200

It IS XMP supported, but unless you have it turned on it likely won't run at it's rated speed. Usually. Desktops are more willy nilly with power budgets so it might run it faster, but it could be like my laptop. I have DDR5 6400 on-board. It only runs at 4800MHz. Stability and power savings.

The RAM will let the motherboard know the timings (unless it's mobile and the controller is a different kind of setup) and clock speeds it will take with DDR5, and is part of the reason each stick now has a microcontroller on it. Your motherboard will work with the DDR5 stick's controller to adjust timings and try to stabilize at whatever OC your XMP decides to go with. You also have to remember binning. You may win the bin lottery and get RAM that can OC with no problem or you may get sticks that cannot and will not even post with any speed over 5200MHz. My posit is that it will run normally at 4800/5000MHz purely for a good speed up over DDR4 and to keep absolute stability with a slightly lower speed.

Honestly, I kind of would go with the AMD system here because this is impressive:
4 x DIMM, Max. 192GB, DDR5 8000+(OC)/7800(OC)/7600(OC)/7200(OC)/7000(OC)/6800(OC)/6600(OC)/6400(OC)/ 6200(OC)/
6000(OC)/ 5800(OC)/ 5600(OC)/ 5400(OC)/ 5200/ 5000/ 4800 ECC and Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory*

It will run any of your RAM speeds, seemingly without complaining too much.
