It's a pointless distinction.

And in this case, it makes 8gig look even worse.

Maybe you’re not familiar with the apps I’m referring to. Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro are professional video and audio workstations.

If I tried to master an export from Adobe Premiere Pro in Protools on PC I’d need 32GB of RAM to to prevent stutter. I only use ~12GB of 16GB doing the same on Apple Silicon.

8GB of UM is not for someone running two pro apps at once. It’s for grandma to use for online banking and check her email and Facebook.
