OPPO Find X to get 10GB RAM version, spotted at TENAA
There have been rumors of a 10GB RAM smartphone in development for a while now. Vivo's yet unreleased Xplay7 was rumored to come with 10GB RAM and the ASUS ROG Phone was also supposed to come with 10GB of RAM. It appears OPPO will be the first to launch a 10GB RAM phone judging by an updated TENAA listing of the Find X.
The Find X originally comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage but Chinese leaker @UniverseIce shared a photo of an updated listing that shows the Find X will get a new 10GB RAM + 256GB ROM model.
We were able to confirm that the leak is genuine as the full TENAA specs listing for the Find X (PAFM00 model) now has a 10GB RAM variant. The update to the listing was made yesterday. The rest of the specs will remain the same as the other variant.
TENAA is China's phone regulatory body.

The modern code is slower because it is cheaper. Today's computers are good enough to deal with the overhead of the OS and standard frameworks. Those who think otherwise are always welcome to code in assembly language, it's supported on most/all platforms. Of course, hundreds of bank forms are coded a bit differently than a pacemaker.

Assembly language? No need since I entered the workforce 23 years ago.
Any simple compiled language will do, like C. Oh, and lay off the dozen framework layers.

Not to actually write any, nor to read disassemblies during debugging.
Rather it's to more intuitively understand what their high-level, interpreted code is doing to their CPU and their RAM.
Back in the day, some newbie posted to Usenet a question about how he could write a C program that would execute the chmod(1) command-line program. He was completely unaware that he could just use the chmod() system call.
That kind of newbie lack of insight is today found even among coders with ten or more years experience, because there are a great many who write nothing but Javascript during their entire careers.

And every single one of those ignorant JS coders is a millionaire, because the techbro industry values young and stupid, just like you do, you old pedophile.
