RAM and cpus use the proper 1024 B to kB to MB to GB. Unlike hdd makers that paid ISO to retroactively make it 1000. Or worse internet providers that use bits (b) instead of bytes (B) (reasoning that signal transmission uses bits).
It's definitely the kernel and bios reserving pieces. They need it to run the computer, after all. Afaik even other hardware can reserve memory for itself, like gpus or network devices.
Who cares?

I got a knife my grandfather used, that has been sharpened so much it looks like a fillet knife. Ergonomics? It cuts, I don't care. It's a good reserve.
Good point about dimples though. But thinking about it why wouldnt I be able to sharpen it? A knife's like 2mm thick while a dimple is idk I don't have one such knife, but it's probably much less then 0.3mm and the edge obviously tapers.
Stuff sticks to knives because they are flat. They need to have dimples for stuff not to stick. Even with ultrasonic vibrations things will stick because things are elastic and sucktion.
I doubt this knife has the power for its vibrations to make a meaningfull difference in cutting.
That's my opinion at least.
LLMs are limited by memory bandwidth much more then calculating power. You need HBM. Dedicated accelerators only lower power usage.
There were plans for a train. Problem is, other then the obvious, that you still need a lot of water for the steam turbine.
I think there's a youtube video about it.
Every 80, even the 480 that is the 580. 580 is just a higher clocked 480, and 470 is 480 with a gew cores shut down.
And how should I judge whst is high end if not by where it sits by performance, price, and how they market it.
At the time it was high end, as I said and contrary what he said.
It wasn't highest end, that was nvidia. But it was definitely, by performance, high end.
The insane prices (and power usages) now, combined with constant hypes, have made people not really objective.
1060 was a great mid card when it came out. 6gb vram. 8gb is mid going towards high end now. I play with 3D rendering for a while now and I wish 16gb was the norm, but it just isn't.
PS Those amd cards worked a bit differently then nvidias. They were harder to optimize for. And nvidia had more money to trow at driver optimizations and working with big game and game engine studios. So the public view of amd cards was worse. That's why they said later for amd gpus to "age like fine wine". When crypto came, they all bought amd cards (easier to write mining kernels since crypto is much simpler then graphics).
Doom 2016 is optimized for those gpus...
The *80 part meant high end...
Edit: Yall either young or dumb. Back then there was only one 90, 290. And it was two 280 chips on one board. Amd didn't sell anything above 80. It was literally high end. Nvidia was like 10% better and 30% more expensive at high end. rx480 was literally the highest end leading flagship latest and greatest amd gpu when it came out.
Kids these days don't even know what mid tier means...
I know that reference!
