“ Could you for example put 4 M1s together to get 64GB in some kind of NUMA style layout?”

For some reason I have this feeling that RAM won’t be as much of an issue as it normally is, 8GB could be enough with 16 perhaps being overkill.

I’d run loads of docker containers which extra ram would be useful, but for different more linear tasks and fast nvme 8GB could be enough especially given how Idevices seem to work well with high process and memory tasks with far less RAM.

One of these M1’s with 64/128GB RAM running as a server in a mini would suit me well.
