16GB RAM, tho?

[–] favoredponcho@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Yeah… hopefully upgradeable. I’m sure Valve is shooting for a certain price point.

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Most likely not, my guess is that it’s going to be super fast unified memory like in the Framework Deaktop

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's 16GB DDR5 + 8GB GDDR6 for the GPU.

24GB total, non-unified.

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Yep, and it seems the ram is upgradable

[–] 1Fuji2Taka3Nasubi@piefed.zip 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Gamers' Nexus video says it'll be laptop-type memory and upgradable.

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

LTT said the same

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

does being "super fast" matter here though? It's a gaming machine, not for AI, and for that normal ram is also super fast.

You might be right. Are they using the same AMD chips?
