Question

Explain in your own words why main memory is constrained in a mobile device and compare it to main memory on a desktop computer

Answer 1

The main memory is constrained in a mobile device because it is limited by the relatively small size of the device. Increasing the memory size leads to need of increasing of the CPU and battery, which all together lead to the bigger device size, which is critical for the mobile devices. Comparing to desktop computers, the main memory is more constrained with the size of the device, because desktop computers have more space for the memory and thus constraint memory lesser.
