Comment on 8GB RAM in M3 MacBook Pro Proves the Bottleneck in Real-World Tests

Who mentioned Windows??

Did you watch the video? The 8GB model is like 1/4 the speed of the 16GB model.

It’s a bottleneck, clear as day. I just thought it was funny that Apple is so stingy that they’d even consider putting an offensive 8GB of ram on this laptop.

Darken was poking fun at the Mac fan boy trope.

  Normally I hate emojis, but I have to admit that they are a powerful and very concise language.

Apple did macrumors.com/…/8gb-ram-m3-macbook-pro-like-16-gb…

It’s not directly mentioned in this conversation, but the excuse as to why they put such a pathetic amount of RAM in the laptop is that “Macs use it more efficiently”

  Apple being apple… marketing at it’s worst.
  
  Sure, it’s “more efficient” than other operating systems if you want to look at how much space is being utilized, but other operating systems don’t seem to have the same catastrophic performance bottlenecks as this apple laptop apparently does.
  
  The fact that going from 8gb to 16gb improves system performance by 4-5x is something you’d never see happen in a “less efficient” operating system, so what’s Apple’s excuse for using it?

I’m not sure if you are serious since my post was clearly mocking apple’s “it’s optimized” argument

  Yeah, no your post went right over my head. LOL
