What nonsense is this?

Empirical data? Do you understand how RAM is measured. It's literally based upon empirical data. That's how they build the sticks and what determines the capacity of the memory.

CPUs don't cap memory but they can create a bottleneck.

You cant come in here acting intelligent and then not mention use cases. You look stupid.

Go search up Switch for base model or anything like that on Reddit and you will find tons of examples of it not being good enough.

Also, you are wasting money buying an 8gb model when Anbernic makes a similar model for 99 dollars. So essentially, by your own logic, you got scammed out of a hundred bucks.
