They've become very efficient about using data "in place" instead of bouncing it back and forth between graphic memory and RAM. This is the way ALL Apple Silicon in iPhones and iPads has worked for the last decade. The "Unified" memory is used by all processing functions, without moving data unless a swap to the SSD happens. YES, the M1 family do use memory VERY differently from Intel machines. That's due to the presence of its very efficient fan. The Mini is a little faster than the MBA and the MBP, and about the same speed as the mid-tier iMac. These are essentially the same machines as the 2020 M1 Mini, the 2021 24" M1 iMac, and the 2020 13" MacBook Pro. My son has the same computer, but with 8GB/512GB. I don't have that Mini, but I do have an M1 MacBook Air with 16GB/1TB. But people say the new Apple M1 chip handles Ram differently. Most of the versions out that I see know only have 8 GB of ram. I am looking to upgrade to a new version Mini. I have a 2012 Mac Mini with 16 gb of ram. I am asking for anyone with experience using the Mac Mini with the M1 chip and 8 gb of Ram.
