Id love to see you show it being loads faster than an M4. Aside from the huge CPU and GPU improvements the ram is 2-3x faster. And the storage is loads faster Maybe you're running virtual machines or something reliant on much more memory. Even then I'd bet you'd get significant (2-4x) improvements with the M4.
Maybe you're being hyperbolic and it's going over my head!
I'm not being hyperbolic. The only thing that affects my performance is swap. On my 64gb 2018 mini, everything is instant. On my 16gb 2020 MacBook, even just opening more than 100 browser tabs makes the whole computer unusable. Give me a 16gb m4 and I will happily record a video for you of a usual day at about 40gb memory consumption and send it back.
