Microsoft’s latest test version of the Edge browser on Windows 11 has introduced an experimental feature that allows real-time AI-driven translation of audio and video content. However, users have observed that enabling this feature requires a substantial amount of system memory—up to 12GB of RAM—raising concerns about the practicality for everyday use.
During testing, some users reported that activating the feature significantly increased the browser’s resource consumption, pushing memory usage to uncomfortable levels. This hefty footprint indicates that the AI translation capabilities are quite demanding on system resources, especially for personal computers with limited RAM.
Microsoft appears to be exploring advanced multimedia functionalities to enhance user experience, but the current implementation seems to pose a challenge for machines with standard configurations. As the company continues refining this technology, users are advised to keep an eye on updates that may optimize resource utilization, making the feature more accessible across diverse hardware setups.
