Because of how macOS manages memory on Apple Silicon, raw "Memory Used" numbers aren't enough to understand your system's ability to perform well with a given workload. Instead, "Memory Pressure" is the primary indicator of how effectively your system handles workloads given the available physical RAM.

I was more referring to people commenting saying how much memory you need
