3X more video memory than the RTX 5090 while costing 3X more.

I guess I'll be the first to point out that it's only 2x more or 3x as much. If you have one apple and I give you one more, you now have two times as many.

Whether you say "more" or "as much" just depends on whether you're comparing the difference or the total amount to what was had before.

In programming, there's a similar discrepancy that tends to throw people, which is distinguishing between an offset and a count. If I have an array of 1 items, the offset of the first item is 0, but the count of items is 1. If I try to use 1 as the offset, it'd be out-of-bounds.

Well spotted! You made a good point, about a thing that few of us pay attention to.
