    My understanding is that the architecture can swap the memory in/out so fast that it only needs a small fraction of what it traditionally would. So, from what I've seen, 8GB is a lot like having 16GB performance-wise, and bottlenecking for memory hasn't been detected. I don't have an M1 (yet) but I think others here do.

    The M1 is amazing in how much performance it gives for how much power it draws. In that regard it shits on a lot of other processors. But, it is certainly not the fastest out there, and graphics-wise it has a way to go. But it's a proof of concept, and it can only get better.

    • It should be an improvement over your 2013 MBP in every way, including memory handling.monospaced
