> Most workloads aren't really constrained by memory access in modern programs/kernels/compilers. Problems only show up when you want to run a GPU off the same memory, which is what these new Macs account for.

For sure but I expect this is different for the apps Apple _wants_ to write. It’s easy to imagine the next version of Logic or whatever doing fine tuning everywhere.

What is there to fine-tune, in a program like Logic? I've often heard that word associated with using extended instruction sets and leveraging accelerators, but where would the M1 have "untapped power" so-to-speak? I don't think the "upgrade" from a CISC architecture to a RISC one can yield much opportunity for optimization, at least not besides what the compiler already does for you.
