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

Pretty sure it just doesn’t do anything. I’m not going to get one and test it because I’m not insane but from the performance specs of people are putting out it looks like it just maxes out the ram and then does nothing.

I was saying this when the M2 was first announced. It’s impressive for what it is, but what it is is actually kind of crap.

“it just maxes out the ram and then does nothing.” is absolute nonsense. The programs need memory to operate.

If your RAM is maxed out and the programs seem to operate just as fine, the OS is doing something behind the scenes, it’s just the matter of what it is doing. Memory swapping / virtual memory is a well-known method of alleviating RAM overuse.

It’s purely academic to me, as I have no intention of buying any Apple products or any desktop not assembled myself.

interesting how I asked an honest question and am being downvoted without further comment. Have the Steve Jobs fuckbois already infested the fediverse?
