I forgot where I got 28 from but it's indeed a mistake. For normal display you could get away with 1920 * 1080 * 8bit = 6MB. For a 10bit display it would be around 8MB. You do indeed often use 32bit float for high-quality processing but since what we're storing here is the output frame you would finish all that processing and then go down to 8 or 10bit per channel. So recalculating the math that's 8GB for 1 minute of video, still way too impractical.
