| Why doubling RAM on smartphones is silly Word on the street is that smartphones are going to start getting 8GB of Ram from next year. While tech pundits are getting all moist about the idea, the question is “why on earth do you need 8GB of Ram in smartphone?” is not getting answered. Next year we are certain to see 2016 flagships sporting 6-8GB of RAM, according to sources in China. Chinese analyst Pan Jiutang suggest that Qualcomm's Snapdragon 830 system on chip (SoC) can support these higher levels or RAM, so it shouldn't be a problem for manufacturers to implement. However this does appear to be a hardware spec which is not required. At the moment smartphones are running the same clock speed as computers from about seven years ago. True the graphics requirement is greater, but the software pressure on the hardware is not great. http://fudzilla.com/news/memory/3937...hones-is-silly |
