CPU-Z’s latest statistics list 64GB RAM configurations at a 7.3% share, with a year-over-year change of −18.0%. Doc TB, the CPU-Z developer, announced the figures on November 6, 2026. Tom’s Hardware describes the statistics as covering active users with CPU-Z installed and running, not monthly retail sales. CPU-Z Validator statistics
What the 64GB statistic measures
CPU-Z labels the ranking “Last 3 Months (Y2Y).” The 7.3% figure is a share in CPU-Z’s reported RAM-capacity statistics; the −18.0% is the change listed alongside it.
How other RAM configurations compare
The same CPU-Z table lists these capacity shares and year-over-year changes:
| RAM configuration | Share in CPU-Z statistics | Listed year-over-year change |
| 8GB | 11.0% | +5.5% |
| 16GB | 33.0% | +12.9% |
| 24GB | 2.3% | +19.7% |
| 32GB | 37.2% | −2.5% |
| 64GB | 7.3% | −18.0% |
| 96GB | 0.5% | −26.5% |
| 128GB | 0.6% | −28.7% |
CPU-Z reports memory generation separately: DDR4 is listed at 54.5%, with a +6.0% change, while DDR5 is at 32.9%, with a −2.9% change.
In tenpoundfortytwo’s test, background applications made the capacity difference visible; clean runs were nearly alike.
What one Star Citizen test found at 32GB and 64GB
In a September 2024 test of Star Citizen Alpha 3.24, creator tenpoundfortytwo compared 32GB and 64GB DDR5 configurations on a system with an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and an NVIDIA RTX 4080. The video describes runs with the game alone and with background applications including Discord, Chrome, Steam, Ubisoft Connect, and Outlook.
With the game running on its own, performance was virtually identical in the two configurations. During multitasking, the 32GB system approached its memory limit and used the page file; the test reported a small performance dip of about 2 FPS compared with 64GB.
The result is specific to Star Citizen Alpha 3.24 and that test system.
