Haven't watched yet but I've been thinking this AI ram thing... Games need ram but they also need content. AAA games seem to be tapping out with huge dev costs and time. But they need the ram to do the grafics that they need. So no ram ain't doing it but at same time industry feels like it is eating self with inability to make AAA games. But like general gaming on a phone, the vast majority of $$$ right? Naw ram doesn't affect that. Interested to see what pach says.
