I've recently bought a m3 pro base model, but the machine never seems to use all the available ram, it starts using lots of swap before reaching 16GBs, never seem it using more than 16GiB
is it using for video memory? or what ๐Ÿค”

Nah, i was stressing the machine on purpose, to see what it does16GiB seems fine for now, memory pressure usually stays on green, usually with 12GiB of memory used, rarely goes more than that

I thought that cached files was already included on the memory used ๐Ÿค”
Let's see in the next couple of months, if i need i'll probably trade this in into the 36GiB
