I was referring that you would not gain any memory, there was no magic compression so you could use a bigger model on the same hardware. There were some wild claims made but it was some people meassuring memory usage wrong, but you are correct there might be some small memory improvements and soem speed improvements.
Well, you can use a bigger model now, it will "just" be really slow. This is different from GPUs, which would just fail to load larger models than VRAM because they don't support paging (unless you build that yourself.)
