apple I don’t care enough about ram latency to justify putting the ram on the chip itself instead of giving me slots I can use to upgrade it
-
@puppygirlhornypost2 I mean for graphics that is pretty standard no?
-
@[email protected] no? vram exists separately on my nvidia cards. It’s what’s surrounding the chip. Shared memory? Yes that’s standard to share host memory with your gpu (unless of course you’re on Linux where nvidia drivers do not have this functionality despite it being a highly requested feature for checks notes the past decade)
-
@[email protected] people had to design specific water cooling blocks for the rtx 3090 because it featured vram on both the front of the board and the back. The back didn’t have adequate cooling in air cooled systems yeah.
-
@puppygirlhornypost2 I mean if you have a dedicated gpu yeah, but like amd apus have graphics on the same chip and they use system memory as vram. And for anything that isn't a gaming laptop APUs are kinda the standard.
-
@[email protected] In apple’s case it’s a bit more than an apu since the chip is large and not the same size. It’s hard to really explain that but when I took apart a Mac mini bc I was curious… like it’s a decent couple square inches of space
-
@puppygirlhornypost2 ah ok, that is indeed a little peculiar lol
-
@[email protected] so like if your gpu fails, or anything else on that hunk of a chip you need a new computer there’s no replacing one component.
-
@puppygirlhornypost2 ITS LIKE FOUR TIMES THE SIZE OF A DESKTOP CHIP???
-
@[email protected] yes now u see.
