How many Chrome tabs can you open with 2TB RAM?

Someone at google, "wtf is going on at this IP address"
But can it run Crysis?
Why is chrome such a hog?
One of those are not more than my system

I think that having multi-threading disabled is the main pitfall of this video. Clearly if the system is getting unresponsive but there's still plenty of memory available, the bottleneck is elsewhere. My speculation is that Linus could have reached 12k open tabs with 128 threads, maybe something less. It's clear at at a certain point there were too many units of work to be scheduled for the applications to be responsive. I know it's unlikely to see this test be performed again, but I think it would be cool to run it again with SMT enabled. Cool video though, Linus!
i like how the ssd is just a simple clean silver with a decal, sort of understated like how samsungs drives are. it would go well with most theme builds for that reason.
I tried this on my personal system on Linux with 8gb of ram. I got 1248 chrome tabs.
My specs:
Intel core i5 2400 3.10gh
8gb ddr3 ram
Bootdrive: SanDisk cruzer glide
AMD Rx460
ASD kill cpu so they get so slow ? they work in the background too mostly the yt vids
Me: plays a demanding Minecraft modpack with a single tab of YouTube open on my other monitor.
Also the one chrome tab: takes up half of the total memory in use
Fascinating, Johnathan Morrison’s Mac Pro also buckled at around 6000 tabs. I wonder if it’s a software issue rather than hardware
Now I know how do you get some many views and subscribers
with so much RAM, you could run the memory in RAID-6 😛
Since iGPU uses actual RAM as VRAM, how about using an insane amount of that RAM as VRAM?
I've had 4000 something tabs open a few times.
On a 32GB system.
Just imagine the page file I got from it.
finally, a system worthy of chrome.
i cant believe chrome actually choked on ram.
i am actually not surprised at all because let's be real, high scalability ist usually not a concern when developing and coding a browser.
This shows how little consumer memory and CPUs have improved since 2007 it's supported 32GB and most still support only 32GB.
Intel even was going to release another 4 core CPU in 2019 until AMD CPUs had cores.
I'm still waiting on even 60GHz since Teraherz electronics have existed since 2001 and probably long before then!
See Intel Terahertz TechTV for them talking about how Intel will have 1THz CPU sold by 2005, yet, 19 years later, we are lucky to have 4 – 5GHz. They even used a lower voltage and ran cooler with Intel's "special sauce". Darpa and Motorola have also announced 1THz electronics in 2009 and 2011. See HEMT transistors and Intel Terahertz wiki pages and their references that show the patents from 1979!
Hard drives and RAM are barely improving to consumers too. 2007 1TB hard drive and they are STILL SOLD in 2019!
Technology is clearly not being released to consumers.
finally the real questions
In conclusion, why tf are you spending $50,000 on a Mac pro?
Does linux do better though?
Too much clicking,
be lazy and learn how to use powershell
I thought my contacts broke at 4:15
please donate that to my grandma
idk you tell me
Instructions were unclear, almost thought I could start firefox…
LTT editor, IMO when siri goes off, the music should also stop to go along with the interuption.
2TB for chrome, i get it😂😂😂
Answer: None. Why? Because Chrome sucks and uses 100% of your memory lol. Use Opera.
shows how inefficient windows is
Why does he sound slightly drunk
should have tried with linux
I wonder if you could download a game into the RAM
2TB of RAM
Weird flex but OK
Can you do the same with edge and Firefox?
Answer to the title:
two
Wonder if he ran out of respond ports to redirect the browser to the right tab
Can't imagine why the system would be running slow with only 6000 tabs open 😂
I believe chrome uses more memory the more memory you have
Now do the same thing with Firefox.
many
my 16gb ram is worthy of about 70 tabs
10 chrome tabs open: lag exists
Linus with 2tb of ram: who decided that
I figure it would be 10 tops.
Well Played Linus! – I'm a simple man, saw the title of the video and opened it in a new tab.
Are you assuming my system memory?
context switches are not free, thread bomb can kill any average PC it doesn't matter if it has a trillion GB of ram or 1GB cpu cache or whatever.
