How Much RAM? 4GB vs. 8GB vs. 16GB Performance

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div>
Intel Skylake processors will be about 18 months old when they are replaced early next year with 'Kaby Lake' parts. AMD is also expected to finally unleash their Zen CPU, and with that we expect many of you will be looking into these new platforms for possible upgrades.</div>
<div>
Although memory prices remain competitive (read: cheap), there's been a slight surge in pricing during the past few months. For the most part DDR4 memory is now cheaper than older DDR3, with 8GB DDR3-2400 kits starting at just $60 -- less than many of you would spend on a lump of aluminum for your CPU -- you probably won't think twice about spending $110 to secure a 16GB kit. Faster 3000MHz DDR4 memory starts at ~$55 for 8GB and $95 if you want 16GB.</div>
<div>
But regardless if you opt for Kaby Lake or Zen, or go for last season's range of processors, you'll likely be asking yourself: "Should I get 8GB or 16GB of RAM?"</div>

However, if you're making an effort to get the most bang for your buck by opting for parts such as a Core i3 processor and perhaps a GTX 1050, then you'll really want to know if that extra 8GB of memory is actually going to benefit you.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Keep in mind there is little point in "future-proofing" your system with extra memory now as adding more down the track is always a more economical option, provided you have the empty DIMM slots.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The last time I really bothered to compare memory capacities was in 2007 when DDR2 was all the rage. At the time I looked at 2GB vs 4GB performance in games and I found almost no advantage to using 4GB of memory.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Today's modern games and many productivity applications can consume upwards of 4GB, so there's little argument for not going with 8GB. However, the need for 16GB of memory remains a hotly debated subject, so today we are going see if and where this much memory might be useful for desktop users.</div>

Application Performance</h3>
<div>
After spending a few hours going through several popular applications and workloads, it was difficult to find any commonly used program that required 4GB or more system memory on its own.</div>
<div>
Case in point, while working on a Windows 10 desktop machine, with a couple of web browsers open and over a dozen tabs between the two, Postbox email client, Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Word and Excel, a couple of IM clients, Sublime Text, an SFTP application, Plex Server, Dropbox, OneDrive, Malwarebytes, and other system tools running in the background and multi-tasking between programs, RAM usage would max out at around 70%.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">

<div>
Once you have 'enough' memory for all your applications to run, having more memory won't increase performance any further. And in this case, what that means is that for regular desktop work, you'll be hard pressed to find any tangible performance difference between 8GB and 16GB of system memory.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Our custom workload features a 17 minute video made up of dozens of small clips, images and audio tracks. To maximize system memory usage we turned the bitrate right down and this saw a total system memory usage of 12GB when encoding.</div>
<div>
With 16GB of memory installed the workload took 290 seconds. Surprisingly, with just 8GB of RAM the encoding time wasn't greatly impacted, now taking 300 seconds. It wasn't until we reduced the system memory to just 4GB that we saw a massive drop in performance, 38% slower than the 8GB configuration to be exact.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Looking at the kilobytes per second data we see that the 8GB configuration is 11x slower than the 16GB configuration.</div>
<div>
While having 16GB of memory is a real advantage here, we had to create an extreme and unlikely scenario. Those looking at compressing with such a large dictionary would likely realize the need for more system memory and go with 32GB of RAM.</div>

If rumours and leaks are to be believed. Apple will launch the iPhone 7 in a design which is quite similar to that of the iPhone 6 and 6s, however there are major differences in the way that the back looks and minor differences in some aesthetics. The overall shape will remain the same the antenna lines will be moved around, a design which supposedly will improve antenna performance. The antenna bands now also look slightly neater, tucking in to the top and bottom edges instead of lapping around the back of the phone. The camera bump will also be different, a larger lens for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus and a dual camera setup for the iPhone 7 Pro.<br />

Apple is also said to be removing the 3.5 mm headphone jack in an attempt to make the iPhone more water resistant or maybe even waterproof.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Sintony, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 20px;">

It is unlikely that Apple will bump up the resolution of the display or change the type of display, but the demand from consumers for an OLED display has been huge. Apple might switch up the technology but there are no confirmed reports of this. A higher resolution OLED display would also mean sacrificing performance and battery, which Apple cannot afford to do.<br />

The removal of the headphone jack has been the highlight of every leak and rumour since the iPhone 7 leaks started. Will Apple really ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack in the iPhone 7? The industry is already ready for the big change and leaks have also redied the consumers enough. Although we wouldn’t be surprised if the leaks turn out to be untrue. For now no can can say with certainty, but the headphone jack may retire in 2016 thanks to the iPhone 7.<br />

Apple is making significant changes to the cameras on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus (and possibly the Pro ), If Apple does launch three variants, expect the iPhone 7 to do large megapixel stills with 4k video and possibly Slo-mo 1080p at 240fps. The iPhone 7 may even shoot 4k UHD video at 60fps. The iPhone 7 pro is said to have a dual camera setup, this may be the same phone as the iPhone 7 plus, or may be an independent handset altogether. The dual camera could be used for any existing technology like; post focus, dedicated monochrome imaging and colour imaging. 3D imaging, or simply higher dynamic range.<br />

The Apple iPhone 7 is said to sport the Apple A10 chipset with the M10 motion co-processor. A huge bump in performance and graphics for this phone would  be a result of this new chipset. The use of this chipset may also allow apple to bump up the display resolution if they do decide to do that.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: sintony, sans-serif; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
Reports also suggest an increase in RAM, 2 GB for the iPhone 7 and 3 GB for the Plus and/or pro variant.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: sintony, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Storage will also get a major boost, recently leaked images of a 256GB iPhone 7 box suggest that Apple will make the phone variants either 32 GB, 128 GB and 256 GB or simply start at 64GB and offer two increments as 128 GB and 256 GB. Wireless charging patents and technology may exist in the new iPhone 7 however, a metal case may not allow that successfully.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: sintony, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 20px;">
The Lightning port will now have a faster charging capability according to rumours along with an inbuilt DAC for Hi-Res digital audio out for those headphones that support it. Apple may include a simple lightning to 3.5mm dongle in the box or sell it as an accessory for as much as US $ 19.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: sintony, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 20px;">
The iPhone 7 Pro is a rumoured to have the smart connector similar to the one found on the iPad Pro, for allowing connections with accessories, and possibly battery packs.</div>

Lenovo launched the Phab 2 Plus in India on Tuesday, with the aim of ending Xiaomi Mi Max’s monopoly in the market for smartphones with huge screens. Both the ultra-large screen phablets are quite similar at first look, with their metal bodies and thin bezels around the display, but there are subtle differences between the two that make them quite distinct from each other.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For example, people more interested in photography would lean towards the Lenovo Phab 2 Plus for its dual rear cameras, while the Xiaomi handset would be automatic choice for those who want to use their smartphone as a remote control thanks to its IR capabilities.</div>

We are now building upon the foundations that have been laid with Need for Speed and delivering our next game in 2017."</div>

Not all trademarks turn into final products, but if Need for Speed Arena does eventually make it to store shelves, it would be the first in the series since 2015's reboot. In our review, we said Need for Speed is, "at times, truly exceptional," scoring it an 8.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Micromax's Yu Televentures last week launched the Yu Yureka Note phablet in India, priced at Rs. 13,499. The handset is available to purchase from offline mobile stores in the region, something contrary to the company's previous plans to keep the Yu brand online only. As per the company, the phablet will deliver to users the "ultimate multimedia & gaming experience."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Yu Yureka Note is an Android 5.1.1 Lollipop-based handset that features a 6-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) resolution display with a pixel density of 370ppi. It packs an octa-core MediaTek MTK6753T processor under-the-hood, clubbed with 3GB of RAM.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Talking about the design, the Yu Yureka Note appears to be a bigger version of the Yu Yunique with the similar Saturn Ring rear camera design, volume and power buttons on the right-side, and speakers at the bottom of the back panel. With a 6-inch display and dual speaker combination, the phablet focuses on those users who like to consume media, play games, and listen to music.</div>
