The NEW M1 Macs 8GB vs 16GB – Watch This Before You Buy!

After watching a number of 8GB vs 16GB benchmark videos, I thought that this video needed to be made. The M1 Macs are in NO WAY optimized for the current program and app market. They are all running on Rosetta 2 and are optimized for x86 systems ONLY.

If you’re still unsure about what model of RAM you need, I advise to wait and see what further testing and bench-marking finds when these apps start to become updated, optimized, and efficient, ESPECIALLY if you plan on doing significantly resource intensive rendering, editing, 3D modelling, coding, or plan to use programs such as Adobe After Effects.
