Which regular desktop tasks are kneecapped by 80GBps memory bandwidth?

[marci]

You really start taking into account bandwidth when you need 64GB or more (which is rarelly).

If it's audio/video, spawning VMs, it doesn't matter much. If it's for generative software, it might become an issue.

[mysteria]

If local LLMs become mainstream then you want as much memory bandwidth as possible. For regular home and office use two channels of DDR4 is more than enough.

[SSLy]

Unironically, small LLMs

[sliken]

LLMs and fast GPUs without having a giant PC spring to mind.
