Often I notice on Intel's site that certain processors are labeled with specific memory capacities, especially the non-K models, and most have the maximum of 32 GB. At least for the Pentium G4560. A while ago I saw Linux testing 2TB of virtual memory, wondering what would happen if we combined such a huge amount of RAM with a processor like the G4560 in a 7th generation system running at 2400 MHz.

It's not possible for a regular desktop CPU to handle that much RAM or the number of slots in the motherboard. Even if you could manage it, the processor would struggle and slow down, especially when handling many open tabs.

G4560 supports up to 64GB of RAM, exceeding this limit may cause posting issues.

The processing depends on whether you're looking at thread count or how much data the CPU needs to handle.
