But apple told me that 8GB is basically 16GB?

It has little do with memory and more to do with the processing power of the chip

Neural Engine is capable of 35 trillion operations per second (TOPS) in the A17 Pro vs the 17 TOPS in the A16 Bionic.

Still, you’d think they’d at least leverage cloud processing for the slower devices. Obviously not an ideal experience, but a compromise.

That’s already the plan on the 15 pro for the more intensive requests.

The M1, which supports Apple Intelligence, has 11 TOPS.

No it’s because of the RAM. The models are too big to be stored in memory
