      You thought AI is going to help you?

      No, you need to serve the AI, you need to sastify it’s requirement.

      Real Answer:

      from the article:

      "The coding included hardware requirements for the CPU with the required instructions and a minimum of 16GB of memory. "

      • SSE 4.2
      • POPCNT instruction specifically
      • 16GB of RAM.

      The first two are available on CPUs starting from AMD K10 (Phenom) and Intel’s Penryn and Nehalem architectures (Core 2 and original Core i5/i7).

          I think there are also some ARM SoCs (now that Windows on ARM is a thing) that don’t meet the requirements, and there are too many systems out there with only 8GB of RAM.

            😁 I have a MacBook pro with only 2g ram running the newest linux kernel, nouveau and Gnome on Wayland without swap, höhö. Well it runs mostly, it’s enough to stream from plex, tho.
