What is unified memory?
Unified memory is a clever design where the main memory (RAM) is shared directly between the central processor (CPU) and the graphics processor (GPU). This means they can both access the same data very quickly, which is ideal for demanding tasks like AI. Apple's M5 chips in the Mac Studio use this for efficiency.
