Prime RAM will be like Xoom?

---

Look:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1145032

Xoom got 1GB of memory, but, 256MB for dalvik vm, 256MB for GPU, 512MB for apps)

So, now with 4 cores, 512MB for apps will be enough?

Or maybe ASUS will be more generous and will give us a full 1GB memory for apps, without dalvik ou GPU?

I don't own a asus transformer (old version), I don't know how tegra 3 will work too. So I really don't know.

Anyone have a clue about it?

Interesting question, I heared that multitasking with 512 MB of RAM isn't very good because apps close very soon due the lack of memory.

When Windows 95 shipped, a typical PC had 8MB of RAM, and now this tablet has 125 times that much.

I'm guessing the nature of Android requires less RAM that a desktop OS:

I hope not!

I know a tablet require less memory, they should at least...

But if we got more ram, more complex applications/games can be developed!

We have now some restriction about compress/uncompress files because of the amount of ram free/avaliable at the device.

Let's wait some one put their hands at the tablet and say to us

Every Android device is like this: some RAM is used by the system, some RAM is used by the video frame buffer, and some RAM is used for applications. Every time a new device is released, this forum and others are filled with complaints like "I don't have 1GB RAM!!! ASUS screwed me!!!" The fact is that there IS 1GB of RAM, it's just being actually USED as it's supposed to be. And, if we had only 512MB of RAM, then far less would be available for running applications.

Furthermore, the number of cores has nothing to do with this--it's not like there's a linear relationship where more cores equals the ability to run more apps. Or, that we're somehow going to be crippled vs. a device with a dual-core processor. We'll be able to run the same number of apps as any other 1GB device, only more efficiently and quickly.

It would be nice to have 2GB, of course, but then the device would just be more expensive.

Plus honeycomb and Especially Ice Cream Sandwich do a great job of memory management. You could always root n use some app to freeze some apps/system processes you don't need or use to free up ram. I think using those free ram apps does more harm than good with later dated android OS versions. Of course more RAM would be ideal but 1GB is good enough for the prime. There is nothing or any type of apps or games out now for any tablet that truly demands more of that. People don't need that much multitasking going on to have a million things running in background. All that'll do is burn up the battery..lol

I think if will be the same number of memory modules, don't have any relationship with battery time.

Some websites eat so much ram and processing (bad developed sites), so, I think the navigation will be more smoother if we get more RAM.

Anyway, I'm thinking in buy one too, but, maybe I will wait for a version with 2GB.

The RAM in this tablet is hell of a lot faster than the previous TF101. Along with the faster GPU, and CPU, this thing should multitask a lot better than previous dual-core tablets.

You are right about websites. Web browsers n sites can eat up RAM fast as he'll. More tabs open, more ram eaten up. SH!?, my iPad only has 256MB RAM total and I make due with it..lol browser shuts down at times due to too much ram used or too many tabs open. Heavy duty games will eat it up also.

Yep, the Prime has a faster/more advanced memory module or something. Plus several vids showed it multitasking like crazy. Andyx, member here, even showed a vid with his prime loaded with widgets on all home screens and stuff running in background. It still moved fast n smoothly between pages in such. No slowdown at all.
