Didn’t understand Apple selling machines with 8GB and claiming it’s as good as traditional 16GB because it’s unified memory and compressed? Linking a paper on the the topic, not necessarily based on Apple’s implementation but quite useful. Maybe in a very general use case of a typical Apple user it makes sense and I suspect Apple has actual telemetry data but in most uses cases I can’t imagine someone needing 16, getting by with 8. https://jjfumero.github.io/files/papers/2023/jfumero-mplr2023-unified-memory.pdf #unifiedmemory #16vs8 #applenomics
