- Windows 11 is intended to keep up to 2 GiB more active data in memory on 8-GiB PCs.
- Microsoft's reported multitasking gain of up to 40 percent comes from tests using one HP Omnibook 3 and two 25H2 builds.
- Microsoft cites up to 20 percent shorter response times, based on telemetry from real Windows 11 devices with 8 GiB of RAM.
- Independent tests on Intel and AMD devices are lacking; Microsoft's percentages do not necessarily apply to every notebook with 8 GiB of RAM.
Our goal is for your 8GB PC to feel like it keeps getting better.— Pavan Davuluri, head of Windows, on the Windows Experience Blog.
