Comparing our memory to other system's memory actually isn't equivalent, because of the fact that we have such an efficient use of memory, and we use memory compression, and we have a unified memory architecture.Actually, 8GB on an M3 MacBook Pro is probably analogous to 16GB on other systems. We just happen to be able to use it much more efficiently.
Ons geheugen vergelijken met het geheugen van andere systemen is eigenlijk niet gelijkwaardig, omdat we het geheugen zo efficiënt gebruiken, geheugen-compressie gebruiken en een uniforme geheugen-architectuur hebben.In feite is 8 GB op een M3 MacBook Pro waarschijnlijk vergelijkbaar met 16 GB op andere systemen. We kunnen het alleen veel efficiënter gebruiken.
Yeah, right 🤨🙁
Er wordt gezegd: "vergelijkbaar met 16 GB op andere systemen". Bedoelt hij daarbij PC's ?Of de Mac's die geen M-processor hebben, maar een Intel ?
Apple Silicon M1 Macs: 8GB vs 16GB RAMThis question has been addressed in a few YouTube videos which test out how much RAM is used during normal usage, how much of it is compressed, and how much of it is left free. These videos also look at how much SSD swap occurs during such usage, which might increase the wear and tear on the SSD.The first video is by Max Tech, and is the most comprehensive of the two that we cover in this post. It addressed the questions that are in every Apple Silicon M1 Mac buyer’s mind: do you need 8GB RAM or 16GB RAM? As per the testing performed in this video with apps like Chrome, Final Cut Pro, Xcode, Photoshop beta for Apple Silicon, Logic Pro, and Lightroom, the YouTuber was able to slow down the 8GB M1 Mac. However, it took a lot more apps to slow down the 8GB M1 Mac, compared to an Intel Mac which would start slowing down much earlier, which was attributed to the unified memory architecture in Apple Silicon. The 8GB M1 Mac performed as well as a 16GB Intel Mac, while the 16GB M1 Mac performed as well as a 32GB Intel Mac, as per the YouTuber.The video sums it up well: if you want to use multiple professional apps, and Chrome, and you also want to use the Mac for many years, 16GB RAM would be beneficial. Whether you get the 8GB or 16GB model, you should not have to worry about swap having any impact on the wear and tear on your Mac’s SSD longevity.The second video is by Created Labs, which mostly addresses swap memory usage by explaining what it actually is, and how it impacts the SSD, if ever. The YouTuber recommends 16GB RAM after putting his Apple Silicon M1 MacBook Pro through some very heavy multitasking workloads which included professional apps, along with browsing with many tabs for hours.Our take on the swap memory is simple – all operating systems use it, whether the computer has a spinning drive or an SSD. Modern SSDs are rated for a long lifetime of reads and writes and do not wear down as easily as they used to back in the day. The primary reason for your decision to go for 8GB vs 16GB RAM should depend on your usage. If you use professional apps like Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, and the likes, you will see an improvement. If you only write and browser on your Mac, 8GB should be perfect for you.https://www.ithinkdiff.com/apple-silicon-m1-macs-8gb-vs-16gb-ram/
We staan er eigenlijk nooit bij stil, maar Apple is de enige (!) ter wereld die dit op grote schaal op deze manier kan en doet.
In feite is 8 GB op een M3 MacBook Pro waarschijnlijk vergelijkbaar met 16 GB op andere systemen. We kunnen het alleen veel efficiënter gebruiken.
En waarom niet simpelweg het instapmodel met 16GB leveren in plaats van een moeilijke uitleg geven dat toch niet geloofd wordt.
... zijn er testen waarin je kunt zien wanneer (bijv) een Macbook Air met 8 mb centraal geheugen het aflegt tegen een Macbook Air met 16 mb die verder dezelfde configuratie heeft?
To answer the original question 'should Apple be selling an 8 gig for $1,600 when it's almost 2024'? And after doing these tests it is even worse than I expected, and I would say no they should not be doing that.
