  Sent to one of two processors on a PC, or 18-52 dedicated cores in an M chip.

      The topic is substantiating that 8GB of UM on an Apple Silicon Mac being acceptable for a base model.

      I’ve explained how the UM is used strictly as a storage liaison due to the processor having a multitude of dedicated cores, with the ability to pass data directly without utilizing UM.

      I don’t know what you want from me, but maybe you should just do your own homework instead of being combative with people who understand something better than you.

        I really doubt they run apps with cache turned into scratchpad memory.
