      Futureproofing it for the next N years? Playing some mad games? Honestly no idea I just thought to take the current top tier benchmark and one-up it.

      Edit: on reflection I generally max out my MBPs out of habit to get the longest shelf life possible. Perhaps it’s just habit.

      Edit2: if it helps I tend to get a new laptop every 5/6 years. The aim here would be to happily bespoke the hell out of a system and get more than 6 years out of it.

      unfortunately it’s a reasonable amount of memory nowadays. I do 3D and print, and I tickle the bottom of my 32GiB more often than not. I’m upgrading soon

      compiling programs with gcc takes roughly 2GB per thread, if you want to compile with all but two threads and play modded Minecraft on the remaining two it can definitely take a lot of ram
