Plenty of use cases for more than 8gb of ram. When you're doing data analysis on even smaller datasets you may need several times more available memory than the size of the dataset as you're processing it.
- Twisell 6y ago1.Again typical use case for entry level PC is not data analysis on bigdata. 2.My current production server is a PostgreSQL database on a 16GB RAM VM running on Debian (my boss is stingy). This doesn't prevent me from managing a 300GB+ data cluster with pretty decent performances and perform actual data analysis. 3.If Chrome sometimes use +8GB for a godsake webrowser the only explanation is poor design, there is no excuse.
