"Windows 95 was 30 MB" is such an ignorant, obnoxious, trite take. a triple buffered framebuffer (which you want for smooth scrolling) for my 4K display is 70 MB in *pixels alone*. Obviously a complete webpage with precomposed textures would take more.https://twitter.com/julienPauli/status/1042113172143067138 …
Yeah, an ideal laptop/mobile memory architecture would work like that. With a smart OS, you'd get sleep lifetimes comparable to hibernate, but with instant resume.

I still don't get why nobody is working on good SRAM. Densities around 1/10 of DRAM should be possible at ridiculous speeds and essentially zero power consumption, and 1/10 is plenty.

by the way, do you know where GPU compression provides huge gains? on modern laptops GPU compresses the framebuffer before sending it to the *display panel*, which lets it power down the LVDS link, which has power savings on the order of 1 W (!)

I mean power down the LVDS link faster, of course.
