Refer to the official page on DDR5 SDRAM for detailed information.
The mix-up comes from intel's 14500 blog. They mention the I5 14500 supports up to 4800 MT/s DDR5 RAM, which led me to think pairing it with 6000MH/z units. Let me know if you need further clarification.
MT/s refers to the typical speed companies claim for RAM, usually around 6000CL30. This means a 6000CL30 chip operates at roughly 6000 MT/s, but due to its double data rate, it handles two transfers per clock cycle. So the actual performance is closer to 6000 MT/s at around 3000 MHz. Companies sometimes misstate the frequency as 6000 MHz, which is misleading since it doesn't match the real speed. If the advertised rate is 6000 MT/s, then it should be running at about 12000 MT/s or similar, depending on the actual timing. Generally, manufacturers list 4800 MT/s as the maximum JEDEC timing, but overclocking to higher speeds like 6000 is possible and expected.

DoctorNick utilized the full capacity of the 6000MT/s RAM. The profile picture for Dr. Nick Simpson from The Simpsons was shared above.
According to DoctorNick, the relationship is mt/s equals mhz. So 4800 meters per second corresponds to 6000 megahertz.
