Do you think that in 15-20 years RAM sizes will be in Terabytes?

20 years ago it was in Megabytes, 10 years earlier it was in Kilobytes.

It may be possible, but developement in that direction doesn't seem to go that fast anymore. It's smartphones which are getting most developement-attention now.

It already is?
@Rokasu Nope why do you say that?

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether Server clusters can hit ram counts that high. It's a unison effort across multiple boards but given how clusters work it's essentially the same ordeal. They optimize parallelism in ways desktop PC's couldn't even imagine doing, hence the delays are negligible. I mean they're still there but the performance increase is huge.

In a sense, terabyte ram won't help much. It's more about expanse and parallelism. Each node capped at 2/3 GHz will probably be the throttle point before it can truly touch a single terabyte array.

I really dont. There's no need for it.
@MartinTheFirst Who knows maybe there's a need for it at some point in the future.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether shadow boxes is a hot topic right now. Someone with a monster of a pc streams all of your content to you through internet. If you want to play a game, you launch the tiny shadow box and just hook up to the internet.
