Tested: Google's Pixel 9 Pro models only have 13GB RAM for apps
Google's new Pixel 9 Pro models reserve part of their 16GB RAM exclusively for AI features. I figured out how much.
You're viewing a single thread.
What about the regular 9?
They only have a few MB reserved for Google's AI, most of the 12GB is free for all apps on other models.
It's 3 gb
What is? The reserved RAM for Google Gemini on the Pixel 9 Pro XL? Yes, I know
I know the definition of "few" is flexible but I don't think you can stretch it to 3,072 of something.
The regular 9 (not the Pro's) doesn't reserve the 3GB for AI (presumably because the Pros come with a year of Gemini Advanced, so they need to try and force it to work as well as it can by any means necessary).
On the Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel 9, we note just 0.26GB (275,336KiB) of locked RAM [...], a very small amount most likely used for some background tasks in the OS. However, on the Pixel 9 Pro XL, this leaps to 2.91GB (3,051,936KiB) of Unevictable and Mlocked RAM. Subtract out the Unevictable RAM from the Pixel 9, and there’s an extra 2.64GB (2,776,603KiB) reserved on the Pro models.
Really interesting. I wonder what features the Pro XL has that the Pro version doesn't to use over 10 times more RAM.
I think when they mean "extra reserved on the Pro models", the mean both "Pro and Pro XL" and not "Pro XL only not Pro". It's written a bit weirdly.
