Mac Pro 1.5TB RAM crashes when opening 6000 tabs at the same time on Google Chrome

Mac Pro with Inel Xeon 28-core chip, Radeon Vega II Duo GPU, 8TB SSD . is one of the most powerful machines on the market today. One of the highlights of Mac Pro is that it can be configured up to RAM up to 1.5TB, hundreds of times higher than the hard drive capacity of most users with 8GB or 16GB RAM.

With a RAM capacity of up to 1.5TB, users will have to do anything to use it? Youtuber Jonathan Morisson decided to use the Google Chrome browser - the famous RAM-consuming application to challenge the Mac Pro with 1.5TB of RAM.

Initially, Jonathan tried with 2000 tabs. At this time, Chrome consumes 75GB of RAM.

After that, Jonathan continued to open 2000 more tabs. Chrome now consumes more than 50GB of RAM.

The new 4,000 tabs only consumed 1 / 10th of the RAM, so Jonathan kept opening 1,000 more. With 5000 tabs, Chrome takes up 170GB of RAM.

But when opening 1,000 more tabs, Chrome started to hang and take up the entire system resources. 28 cores of Intel Xeon chip and 1.4TB of RAM of the device have been consumed by Google Chrome. 4.

In short, no matter how terrible your computer is, Chrome will have a way to consume that RAM.

A small note that opening too many tabs at once can also cause the browser to crash. So, after using it, you should close the tabs.
