The base level M5 doesn't just have more memory than the base level M2.

The memory bandwidth is bumped up by 50%, and the size of the on-die system level cache is bumped up by 50% as well.

I recently got an M5 Air as a second machine. I question if I'll even need a Pro machine in the future, as long as I can get enough RAM with the base chip (which seems unlikely, but...)
