This was my instinct when NVMe SSDs first came out: I'd joke that now we have 2 TB of RAM.

The real joke is on me though, some of these GPU servers actually have 2 TB of RAM now. Crazy engineering!



Now? I had found some used epyc servers with 2TB ddr4 ram for around 5k usd yesteryear. Too bad I didn't purchase it.


He said GPU servers


The point is that we did have CPU servers with TBs of RAM. These machines are still pretty much relevant.


He didn't say VRAM. GPU servers are just servers with GPUs.


who cares how much cpu ram a gpu server has? But yeah, if that is what he meant, then that is silly.

Although... may be impossible to buy 2TB of RAM later in 2026! ;)
