the 8G class
8 GB·a memory class, not a product·2 figures, from 1 exhibit · named in 2 exhibits
This roster is in beta and still being tested: every figure is proved against the page it came from, and the way they are read and shown is still changing.
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 8G class is resolved to no card on this shelf: no exhibit that uses it names its card, and each one is listed below with what it does say. Reading a card into any of them 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
Grouped by model and by what was measured, and inside a group sorted by power cap ascending — alphabetical and numeric, never by value. The heading of a group carries everything that does not change inside it; each row carries the value and the conditions that do. A condition the page does not state reads not stated, which is a third thing and not an uncapped card. A † means the same reading is printed in a second place on its exhibit — one reading, two printings, not two figures.

Where it appears
Every released exhibit that names this identity, in the shelf’s own order.
- 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.

- the 8G VRAM rig
