I just want to know why anyone will personally need 1.5TB of ram in their personal PC today. I'm not saying that 128gb is all we need. I'm sure in the future, we might all have 32TB in our future portal device. But what sort of work load or app could you possibly need 1.5TB of ram for?
On my personal desktop right now. I have 20gb of ram and over 250tabs open on Firefox, spotify, VCode, Postgresql, pgadmin, multiple evice & fbreaders, rabbitMQ, some nodejs servers, 2 linux containers, 1 docker container, mysql server, 10+ xterm sessions, a few screen sessions and I'm using 14Gb.

- anarazel 7y agoI would love it for development (I work from home on personal HW) - multi-socket NUMA machines behave differently enough that being able to continually see how in-development software versions behave. And I just find it less productive / more painful to do detailed performance work remotely. Latency is one part, added time due to having to sync up code / build another, but there's more that I can't really pinpoint.
