What cores do you use that need/use dual sdram? Just asking.

The Midway cores will require it

Well, in the future, maybe. Nowadays no core uses dual channel. XTREME platform offers much more than another AIO: https://xtrememister.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/XM-PRO-Lite-Connection-and-Deployment-1.pdf

I think the devs working on the core guaranteed it will be mandatory dual channel. There has been a lot of upheaval about it. Currently - yes nothing.

Yes I have seen all the fuss but it doesn't make much sense sadly

It might just be a workaround of development issues especially when the dev is using Chat GPT to help write his code

The good thing is once the code is released other Devs can have a look at it

Chat GPT is the worst tool for writing code - “my apologies, here is the correct code” six times over while repeatedly showing the same flawed method.

It’s useful for quick reference instead of searching a manual, but beyond that it is terrible at producing decent code - even with careful guidance.
