Welcome to 2010
It’s really sad that this needs to be an actual headline.
I know it’s not a like for like comparison, but the Pixel 9 Pro that launched this month has 16gb of RAM.
Some phones have 24gb since 2 years ago already
Which phone(s) had 24Gb standard?
I didn’t think any of those are the base model. Anything with Pro or Ultra in the name should have more than 8Gb of RAM in my opinion. It also seems dominated by OnePlus as the others listed are not really players in the larger market. You could possibly argue that Xaomi is but I’ve never even seen one of these phones in the real world. In fact it looks like most of these are only available in China variant.
I am writing this using my Xiaomi poco x3 pro, although it have 8gb ram and 256gb memory, it also have headphone jack and micro SD slot
for the same price other laptops sell for 64GB
what a bargain
Oooo a whole 16 gigs! It can run Firefox with more than four tabs open!
…is this actually 16Gb or 8Gb feeling like 16Gb, as per previous statements?
Golly, thanks Apple. It’s not like I can go buy a 256GB DIMM right now. 16GB what a joke.
…in 2030.
Whoa, that’s like 32GB of Windows RAM. Seems excessive to me tbh
Does it?
Previous benchmarks have shown the 8 GB models seriously fell behind in performance.
Ironically, it’s the other way around, since Apple has to share their RAM between GPU and CPU, where other computers typically have them separately.
So in normal usage with 8 GB, you’re automatically down to 7, since at least 1GB would be taken by the graphics card. More if you’re doing anything reasonably graphics-heavy with it.
Is it like SI RAM vs US Customary RAM?
Naturally the price for the cheapest model will also be going to up several orders of magnitude more than the cost of materials, labor, and healthy profit margin to account for that as well I’m sure.
Let me know how many multiple thousands of dollars it’s going to cost for a MAX variant of the chip that can run three external monitors like it’s 2008.

I’ve had to support their products on a professional level for over a decade.
Their enterprise stuff…can only be described as a quintessential example of an ill-conceived, horrendously executed fiasco, so utterly devoid of utility and coherence that it defies all logic and reasonable expectation. It stands as a paragon of dysfunction, a conflagration of conceptual failures so intense and egregious that it resembles a blazing inferno of pure, unadulterated refuse. It is, in every conceivable sense, a searing, molten heap of garbage—hot, steaming, and reeking with the unmistakable stench of profound ineptitude and sheer impracticality.
xServes were pretty cool though
That was…. poetry!
Good, 8 is unusable for my workloads and 12 feels like they’re just fucking with us
“640k ought to be enough for anyone.”
Ooohhh, wowie!
Meanwhile.im looking into upgrading my 64 gigs to 128, in small part because I might need to, in large Bart because I CAN.
Stop buying apple crap
