32GB could be useful if the bandwidth is fast enough to be suitable VRAM, because then you can run games that want 16GB allocated to the CPU without having a GPU performance drop

This thing having 32gb of ram is complete overkill, but I genuinely don’t expect it to have good battery life at all, which is the bigger issue

I’ve seen comparisons of the 32GB vs 16GB GPD Win4 and there’s about a 10-15% uplift in performance at the same TDP in a lot of games with the 32GB model.
So it can give an increase in performance, or at the least let you run at a slightly lower TDP for the same performance and a bit better battery life.
Of course this was the 6800U, hard to say if the effects are similar for Intel’s chipset or not.

If that’s the case, that’s great. We’ll have to wait until benchmarks drop eventually

Sometimes I run out of Ram on my steam deck.

Probably required that much ram to feed to windows.
