Can someone explain me why memory is costing so much? And would it make sense to buy memory separately?
I am kind of playing /w configurations to see what I can get.
- oso2k 9y agoAfter 16GB, the cost-density curve ($/GB) inverts because the density is super valuable for enterprise and other large customers, especially for ECC.
- yuhong 9y agoThe TSV technology that the 128GB DDR4 LR-DIMMs uses is still very new (Samsung is the main vendor at this point). It is only recently that the price of 64GB LR-DIMMs are getting close to the price of 32GB RDIMMs. As a side note, you also need special Xeon models to get the full 1.5TB per socket with the 128GB DIMMs now.
- desireco42 9y agoI see. So essentially it would make sense to get one with smaller memory and buy more when price goes down. Thank you for explaining.
