Terabits vs gigabytes


Terabits vs gigabytes

What does this mean? The article says 'TB' which would be terabytes. Terabytes are made out of gigabytes. There is nothing faster than straight memory bandwidth. DDR5 has 64 GB/s max. 12 channels of that is 768 GB/s.

Terabytes per second is going to take multiple computers, but it will be a lot less computers if you're using shared memory bandwidth and not some sort of networking loopback.


multiply 50 gigabytes * 20 and tell me what you get

pro-tip: it's quite a bit bigger than a terabit
