MODERATORS
Yeah, we'd need some sort of modular RAM size that's small. No idea why we have 2TB of lightning fast storage and it's the size of a postage stamp, but the RAM sticks are still more or less the same clunky sizes we had 30 years ago.
I guess its because SSD storage wasn't an option back then and the interface is newer. But since soldered RAM is more of a rilule these days we do need something new.
It's because ram is even faster with lower latency.
Pcie4.0x4 nvme is 40Gbps (I presume you mean pcie4.0 which is the newest and greatest over pcie3.0).
And that's if it can actually sustain that level of read/write consistently, and isn't just dumping data into a buffer.
DDR3 1333mhz is 80Gbps (which is 15 years old).
DDR4 2133 is 136Gbps.
These are just rough numbers. Actual throughput is going to depend on number of channels, mobo, CPU etc.
