Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough
Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough

There were a number of exciting announcements from Apple at WWDC 2024, from macOS Sequoia to Apple Intelligence. However, a subtle addition to Xcode 16 — the development environment for Apple platforms, like iOS and macOS — is a feature called Predictive Code Completion. Unfortunately, if you bought into Apple's claim that 8GB of unified memory was enough for base-model Apple silicon Macs, you won't be able to use it. There's a memory requirement for Predictive Code Completion in Xcode 16, and it's the closest thing we'll get from Apple to an admission that 8GB of memory isn't really enough for a new Mac in 2024.

Err, I mean completely regardless of whether I think 8GB is enough or not, they didn't admit anything of the sort:

(Emphasis mine.)
Not being able to run "AI" predictive code completion with 8GB doesn't mean they're "admitting" jack shit.

Yeah this kind of reporting just makes me scratch my head. Just blatantly trying to farm clicks from apple haters lol

So basically the old “if you don’t know what RAM is, 8 is enough”
