8GB RAM on M3 MacBook Pro 'Analogous to 16GB' on PCs, Claims Apple

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
My 2023 Lightroom library sits at ~70k images and is about 1.5TB of files (shoot 45MP RAW files, a memory card is 256GB). Simply put, if the optimization of whatever I’m using isn’t extremely well done, it bogs down quickly. Even Lightroom struggles occasionally.
All of my organization is done through Lightroom, pictures get dumped to a 16TB RAID array in my local machine, then go into archival storage. I don’t do manual folder organization because it’s extremely slow for my uses.
