filisterApple argues in favor of selling Macs with only 8GB of RAM
It’s okay if you run efficient OS on it, not the case.
And it’s not RAM, it’s UM. The usage of memory changed with the introduction of Apple Silicon.
Like has been done on laptops with on-board video cards since, well, forever?
It’s different. The GPU is broken into several parts and integrated into the SoC along with the CPU’s dedicated processes. Data is passed within the SoC without entering UM. It’s exclusively used as a storage liaison.
You should check out Apple Silicon M-Series. Specs don’t translate to performance in the way conventional PC architecture does. I guarantee you’ll see PC manufacturers going to 2nm SoC configurations soon enough. The performance is undeniable.

So it’s not on same chip with CPU?
A CPU performs liner math.
A GPU performs floating-point math.
Those are only two of the 18-52 cores (model dependent) of Apple M chips. The OS is designed around this for maximum efficiency. Most Macs don’t even have a fan anymore.
There. Is. No. Comparison. In. PC.
A CPU performs liner math.
A GPU performs floating-point math.
A GPU performs integer math.
A CPU performs floating point math.
All four statements are true.
That’s correct. My mistake.
