im not sure how many have run into oom problem, sans me, but that's another question. some of the new hires will be doing the same thing where i did oom on a 16gb lappy as their main duties

every 32gb laptop is a big clunker because intel literally doesn't make mobile chipsets that support that much memory. they've been promising to do it for years and repeatedly failing. so a laptop with 32gb is running with a desktop chipset and trying its best to make do

cinci zoo sniper posted:oh. well, that explains quite a lot, sadly yeah. all the skylake mobile processors only support 16gb max, and only lpddr3 or ddr3l. kaby lake... well, "kaby lake" covers a lot of different chips with a lot of different capabilities, but the newer ones finally support 32gb and sometimes 64gb, generally of either lpddr3, ddr3l, or sometimes ddr4. none of them support lpddr4 yet, which is a shame because the power drop is pretty big. anyway the earliest of those chips started shipping at the start of last year, so most laptops are still based on older chips, so they generally don't go up to 32gb unless they're actually based around a desktop chip

i see. i wonder if we can expect 32gb mbps then in the future, at least when lddpr4 comes around

Boiled Water posted:I used to be like you. actually i have some managerial duties, the phrase just went nicely with their username  i wish we could have cloud budget, but there are number of difficult challenges. chiefly, i would need to train every other potential user; the users would still unlikely make use of it (im estimating about 20% "conversion" rate); and we dont have "sysops" nowhere near the needed to pull off a computational microcluster that we are legally allowed to use for (most of the job is tightly regulated in one way or another; none of big 3 cloud providers are compliant)
