Not at all. Remember that's 8GB for both CPU and GPU; in 2006, gaming PCs had 2GB or even 4GB of RAM and 1GB of GPU memory. They could reasonably have forecasted that 4-8GB for the CPU and 1-2GB for the GPU would be needed. |
My year old laptop has 16GB of ram, 25% of it in use too just browsing the internet on win 8.
64GB total is not that unreasonable. I think it's going to be 2020-2021 though.
Unless SSD drives get a lot cheaper and faster, loading most of the game into ram will be the only way to keep pop-in under control next gen.
Relatively slow huge hdd + cheap ram is likely still better than a big SSD drive.
