ZDNet explains why the new MacBook Pro doesn't need more than 16GB of RAM. . . and it doesn't with the new much faster 2GB/s write and 3GB/s read SSD storage drives which can act as RAM for almost all purposes. Combine this with high efficiency RAM compression of 75% and the 16GB provided is the easily the equivalent of much larger than 16GB RAM memory already. — PING!

This is a good article.

But this is what we’ve noticed:
>Premiere on macOS was similar, while on Windows performance did
>improve with more memory. Windows 10 now has memory
> compression
>too, so Premiere may not need more memory today.

We saw a good performance boost in Win 10 too, we’ve decided to phase out all MacBook and MacPro Desktops by Q1 2018. This affects a little under 2000 machines. Other factors in this switch are constant issues with OS X - the over all quality in the OS has not been there since early 2011, the increasing nature of a platform agnostic world and finally where the cost to support a Mac has been increasing the past few years.

Disclaimer: I’ve been an ardent Mac user since the late 1980s/early 1990s and at various companies, I’ve overseen some of the largest Mac fleets around But, at my current company, for business and performance reasons - it is now time to move our Enterprise to non-Apple hardware.
