This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Genuine question here, for a "normal" computer user, say somebody who :
... which task does require more than say 32Go?
For normal use like that 16GB is generally just fine. Some games can use enough that you'll need to close Firefox and other RAM hungry programs though.
As far as needing more than that, people who do heavy design work or edit videos and that kind of thing generally do. For example 32GB running Fusion in Davinci Resolve can be a bit limiting sometimes with higher resolution or 10 bit footage.
If by normal you average, they don't even really need 16gb.
Creative work can gobble up ram, heavy ass multitasking does as well.
So it's more in the digitally productive professional or hobbyist cases where you need such amounts as a person.
For development high amounts of rams can be useful for all sorts of stuff, it's not just compiling, but also testing, though 32 is often enough.
Old computer blew up, had to buy a new one. Nice 128gb ddr5. Just mobo, mem, cpu. Cpu is a rhyzen 9 9700
The memory was well over 40% of the cost, wtf?
Dang, now i know why micron stock has gone wild.
