I paid for the whole amount of RAM, I'm gonna use the whole amount of RAM.

/s

Joke aside, the computer I used a little more than a decade ago used to take 1 minute just to display a single raw photo. I'm a liiiittle better off now.

    It was a s. 754 Sempron at a time when people were already running Core 2 Duos ans Quads.

    sory for making you feel old..er.

    i7 4th gen/ haswell was 13 years ago. I still use it.

    that sempron is probably more than 17 years ago.

    I had an athlon xp 2000+, single core. OC to 2666MHz with proper thermals

    I got that PC in high school and had to run it a bit afterwards because I didn't have the money for a new one. When eventually I got around to replacing it, I got an X99/Haswell-E system and it was a night and day difference.

    See, that’s a great example!

    RAW processing (at least in that context) hasn’t really changed in 10 years. It’s probably the same code doing all the heavy lifting.

    But most software doesn’t have that benefit.
