It’s literally called a “pro”, who do you think they’re targeting?
Ignore the “pro” name in any consumer electronic device.
I do, thanks to Apple. It doesn’t make it any less shameful or ridiculous.
You need to take a closer look at how the M-series chips work and why they work they way they do
You’re going to have to elaborate because I already have and I don’t understand what bearing that has on this discussion.
Apple does a lot of anti-consumer bullshit which we should absolutely club them over the head for,
You shouldn’t “club them over the head”, you should just stop buying their trash. That’s literally the only thing that will work.

Daves garage actually had a good video on the shared memory architecture recently that gives some insights on why apple designed this way they did. Don’t dismiss “different” as “trash.” You sound like an idiot when you do and it makes it difficult for adults to take you seriously. PC and Mac are designed with different goals in mind, so they tend to make different choices in their engineering, and you aren’t going to like every decision either side makes.

Shared memory is different to unified memory, AMD’s got an implementation of the later with their “AI MAX+” (ugh) systems, does quite well in benchmarks.
It also doesn’t hurt that Apple puts the RAM on the SoC and gives it a truckload of bandwidth. DDR5 is about 70GB/s, meanwhile the M4 Max is around 540GB/s.

I didn’t know AMD had managed to switch over to unified memory too. Managing that while remaining x86 compatible is quite an achievement!

Yeah “universal memory” is the holy grail, seemingly as hard to find as it as well.
The articles on Wikipedia about the related tech is great, it’ll mention something like “Developers expect commercialisation to happen relatively soon” and then link to an article from 2004, or research papers from the 1980s.

This is not “different” this is “anti consumer non-sense” and you sound like a chud when you recite corporate propaganda.
