Technology glossary
Unified memory
An arrangement in which the CPU and graphics processor use the same physical memory pool. Memory allocated to the GPU is not extra capacity added to total RAM.
On the 128 GB Z2 Mini G1a, up to 96 GB can be assigned to the GPU. It comes from the 128 GB total and reduces the capacity left for the OS and other applications.
Fitting a large model into memory and running it quickly are different things. Software support, model format, memory transfers and processing power affect the result. The term unified memory alone promises neither a particular speed nor upgradeability.

HP Z2 Mini G1a
