    Common ig has a Celeron!

    It always baffles me when like the old hard drive fit in the RAM of am average today PC. What will it be in 10-20 years, 2TB RAM in an average PC?

      My first PC had a 170 MB (!) hard disk and 4 MB RAM. After an upgrade to 8 MB it could (barely) run Windows 95.

      Moore’s law will speeddown and then die, tech advancement per space will stagnate. Also, no home PC needs 2 TB of RAM.

        We old-timers have heard that exact argument for like forever. Didn’t happen.

        Even Intels chief engineer thought that after 3um there would be impossible to reach 1um.

        1um = 1000nm BTW and we’re at like 3nm

        I’m reading the other comments, and wondering why do people need to be binary like that? Yes, diminishing returns are a thing, so we shouldn’t expect the same degree of improvements, but stating hard limits is also something that usually gets laughed several years later.
