You don't know what you're saying. That's because of virtual memory and its much slower. Apple's claim is bullshit and they lie.

Every modern OS compresses memory, not just the MacOS. And no 8GB is not equivalent to 16GB on a Mac. Apple says it so foolish people believe it, but its not true. Sure unified has advantages, but they're saying BS.

All memory is virtualized by the operating system; applications don't 'see' physical address space.
