8GB RAM on M3 MacBook Pro ‘Analogous to 16GB’ on PCs, Claims Apple::Following the unveiling of new MacBook Pro models last week, Apple surprised some with the introduction of a base 14-inch MacBook Pro with M3 chip,…
It’s an entirely different architecture, so every program needs less RAM (with exceptions like I mentioned above). That’s why they’re using shared RAM; because they can pull it off (mostly).

ARM is pretty efficient, that’s true. But an 8 gig video will always be an 8 gig video. No amount of processing and compression and swap tricks will make it occupy any less space without a massive hit to performance that an x86-64 arch with 16+GB of ram won’t have to endure.
Uhh what? That’s not how RAM works, you don’t load an entire 8GB video you’re playing into RAM.
When you have 64GB of RAM, you do.
You do if you’re editing it, and the editing capabilities are one of the main selling points of macOS
