Actual behavior
The values being reported are being reported as impossibly high numbers.
Steps to reproduce the bug
- Run RetroArch
- Look for the memory in megabytes in the System Information menu
- Look for the available values in the CPU overclock menu

I'm not aware of when this started occurring, but if I try to remember hard enough, I think it's been an issue for a long time?
