What this class resolves to, and what it does not
A memory class is registered here as an identity in its own right, never resolved to a card by inference. the 24G class is satisfied on this shelf by more than one thing: one exhibit names its card in its own words and is carried as a resolution; the rest name none, and each of those is listed with what it does say. Reading a card into the others would be this page making a claim its sources do not.
Resolved, by the exhibit itself:
- None on this shelf.
Named here and resolved nowhere — every exhibit that uses the class and publishes no card:
- the-move — the retiring server's card was redacted to its memory class on 2026-08-19 and the model was never published; the machine is registered as the-retiring-8g-laptop, the card is not
- voice-trials — the era-one round names the 8G VRAM rig and no card
Everything else this shelf measured for it
Sorted by model, then by power cap ascending — alphabetical and numeric, never by value. Every condition the page states is printed; a condition it does not state reads not stated, which is a third thing and not an uncapped card. The columns a narrow screen cannot hold are printed under the row rather than scrolled to.

Where it appears
Every released exhibit that names this identity, in the shelf’s own order. A count beside an exhibit is how many of its figures are carried above — and it links them, because a number with no way back to what it counts is the thing this shelf exists against.
- The move — named, and no figure carried from it — yet
- The voice trials — 2 figures on this page
How this one is named here
The canonical name above is the full product name. Everything below is a spelling a published page or kit has actually used for it, kept so a reader who searches an older page’s words lands on this row. The set is closed and historical: no page cut after 2026-09-17 writes a memory class where it can write a card.
- an 8 GB mobile GPU
- the 8G VRAM rig
