What exactly is a "non-binary" kit ? Can someone please enlighten me, 'cause I feel as though I've missed something somewhere

Or is Ram just the next frontier for the gen Z pronoun/identity crisis nonsense now or what ?

That would be RAM kits of 24gb, 48gb and 96gb.
Binary kits would be regular sizes like 16gb, 32gb, 64gb etc..
Installing such kits require a BIOS update for most motherboards.
I agree that the naming is confusing though

Hummm....seems kinda unnecessary, but funny to me nonetheless, thanks for the info

Is there a reason why there still aren’t 64gb udims?
I think I remember reading about those back in 2020

Because there are no 32-gigabit dies yet.
That's only part of the answer though, I don't know why they can't put twice as many dies on a module. Would stacking be too costly, or is it simply impossible to connect two dies to the same wires in a UDIMM?

“FURY Renegade PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD, coming in capacities of up to 4 TB and reaching sequential read and write performance of up to 7,300 and 7,000 MB/s, respectively.”

the KC3000 pretty much does that now.

how about a 4TB KC3000 for $300 CAD and an 8TB one for $550 CAD.

Edit- also I never understood the gaming tag attached to top end nvme drives when reviews show load times basically the same with a sata drive?

Non-binary DDR5 RAM be like

Because people see bigger numbers and assume that it has an impact on their gaming experience, especially now that consoles can accept M.2 NVMe SSDs
