> When those performance gains pass down to consumer computers, users will have up to 6.33 times the amount of CPU and 64 freaking times the amount of RAM! This will only happen once there is a usecase for that much RAM in a consumer machine that justifies the massive increase in power consumption. I don't see such a usecase yet. (The only thing that I can think of that pushes hardware requirements on consumer machines is VR/AR, but that's mostly a GPU problem.) Many notebook models (also the previous Macbooks, I think) were stuck at 16 GB RAM because that's the maximum for low-power DDR3.
