      I think the author was trying to compare how Linus didn’t have 8MB then, but 8GB being common today.

      But yeah, I still agree that part could be worded better, so I added some suggested words:

      Linus didn’t have a machine with 8MB RAM [back then]

      [However] Today, machines with 8GB RAM [1024 times that of 8MB] are very common.
