That's newly fabbed memory vs. an existing stock. The stock is quite massive, so optimizing existing use and enabling it to be repurposed can be meaningful.

Not really...

If the new memory is needed for AI data centers, it doesn't matter if your existing MacBook doesn't need as much memory anymore.

  • If the existing MacBook needs less memory, it can use its current memory spec for higher-level uses that formerly required a MacBook Pro. That meaningfully affects the market.
