More is better, especially if it is a RAM equipped with a processor that gives a good balance to a computer, without generating the so-called bottlenecks. but strangelythe manufacturers of these cards are preparing for smaller capacity chips.
For example, a report published on the website of hard zone comments that Micron, one of the largest memory manufacturers in the world, already working on 3 GB DDR5 chips (24 Gbits of capacity per memory chip) and it is not the only brand that is doing it.
Samsung and SK Hynix also showed 3 GB modules. It seems strange, because currently we have 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB and 32 GB and in the future we would have 6 GB, 12 GB, 24 GB and 48 GB in total, that is, would not double as the industry had accustomed us.
Why won’t RAM double in the future?
This clearly has nothing to do with technical limitations, but with the fact that manufacturers want to cut costs. The companies only plan to increase the capacity of RAM by 50 percent.
The reason is that, when manufacturing RAM, the chip manufacturing nodes in which the cost per mm2 is no longer fixed and, even if it has more capacity, a memory chip under the same size is much more expensive. This could also affect video memories.
The report concludes that manufacturers will lead users and Internet users to buy two RAM modules, that is, if a program needs 32 GB, two 24 GB modules will be needed. It seems exaggerated, but it is important to use as many memory channels as possible.
