Burdened by a single-rank design, GeIL’s Orion AMD Edition DDR4-4266 C18 fails to keep up with rival 2x16GB memory kits that leverage a dual-rank design.
Many would agree that 16GB is the sweet spot for the average consumer. However, prosumers and professional users typically require more memory since they deal with heavy workloads, some of which can benefit from high-speed memory. While memory vendors can stick to more mainstream data rates, such as DDR4-3200 or even DDR4-3600, plenty of brands also put out faster memory kits to cater to that niche market. For example, GeIL has released the Orion AMD Edition DDR4-4266 memory kit, but it remains to be seen whether it can hang with the best RAM that’s commercially available.
