In other news, I'm trying to buy organizational bins for the office and I have realized that the bins are measured in quarts, gallons, liters, and my favorite, square feet with height listed separately.
Relevant XKCD
Just for anyone curious, we finally got a functioning 2x 8GB kit in that worked for the Steam Machine. The results are identical to the 2x 16GB kit (which makes sense, as we only ran tests that fit within the original 16GB capacity). Just wanted to provide that data for anyone who might find it useful. Won't run a full video on it or anything since it's just the same information, but the TLDR is that in the tests we ran for dual vs single, the capacity was a non-factor and the results are unchanged on 2x 8GB vs 2x 16GB.
@John_Milionis Doesn't really work that way. Most the memory the data centers are consuming is not consumer memory, e.g. you can't just socket it into a DDR5 board. A lot of it is LPDDR5X that's either soldered to boards or on module cards (also not compatible with desktops).
