What do you think of this statement? “8GB on an M3 MacBook Pro is probably analogous to 16GB on other systems. We just happen to be able to use it much more efficiently.”

A bit misleading. 8GB compared to what version 16GB of RAM? DDR5, DDR 4, or DDR3. Apple themselves use LPDDR5 that produces 6,400 mhz with their M series CPUs.

From a power standpoint DDR5 is close enough to LPDDR5 to make that claim false. DDR4 and previous versions makes that claim true from a power standpoint, but Apple was using previous version when released in those years too. Nearly all 2023 released PC laptops are using DDR5 RAM chips.

The only people who care and are complaining are the people that are never going to buy it anyway.

And you are the typical fanboy who believes everything apple says without questioning it. Instead you just say shut up and take my money
