Comment on Microsoft sets 16GB default for RAM for AI PCs – machines will also need 40 TOPS of AI compute: Report

Thus, Windows will again be instrumental in driving growth for the minimum memory capacity acceptable in new PCs.

I love that the primary driver towards more powerful hardware is Windows just bloating itself bigger and bigger. It’s a grift in its own way, consumers are subsidizing the requirements for Microsoft’s idiotic data processing. And MSFT is not alone in this, Google doing away with cookies also conveniently shifts away most ad processing from their servers into Chrome (while killing their competition).

OOTL, what’s going on here? Distributed processing like Folding@Home, but for serving ads to make Google more money?

  They called it Federated Learning of Cohorts at one point. Instead of you sending raw activity data to Google servers and them running their models there, the model runs in Chrome and they only send back the ad targeting groups you belong to. All in the name of privacy of course.
