    All these new models are such tease for us folks with 128GB of shared memory. Buying another unit now to expand to 256GB is a mortgage payment but it’s getting tempting…

      Is there a gamechanger around the corner to reduce DRAM requirements?

        I can imagine someone building a device that uses NAND flash or similar tech but with a very different controller that is optimized for streaming the data out with a predetermined access pattern at very high speed.

        Flash, like pretty much every solid state storage technology, can scale its output bandwidth to ridiculous levels limited pretty much only by the readout circuitry. There may be a price to pay in power consumption, though.

          It’s called “HBF”, high bandwidth flash, and it’s on its way!
