I tend to view passwords as protected by the fifth amendment. The data therein is the fourth but a court can't compel you to testify against yourself. Good luck cracking my device that has no criminal activity and wasting tkme and money.
Especially with Microsoft, they have experience with games running on different windows versions, different CPU(but still x86) and varying amounts of RAM and GPU.
The article title is a bit clickbaity in that it gives the impression the RAM amounts will stagnate. In reality it may be "only" 8GB of RAM but if it's got 8GB of VRAM too then it will be equivalent to 16GB in the current gen terms.
I'm hoping Microsoft goes 12GB RAM 12GB VRAM tbh.
