I love everything about the move to Apple Silicon with the exception of the decision to put memory on-die or in-package (not sure how it is configured). They call it 'Unified Memory'. It makes a lot of sense but I don't know if they are going to be able to pack enough memory in there.
A lot of folks are fixated on CPU performance lately (which is rad) but I think that there is a tendency to ignore memory. I have 32gb of RAM on my Macbook Pro and finally feel like it has enough. You can't get an M1 configuration right now larger than 16GB which is a table-stakes baseline dev requirement today.
