But have you benchmarked your workflow on x86+32GB vs M1+8GB?

  I'm typing this response on a 8GB M1. It's great, but its no magic. Its limitations do start to show in memory intensive and heavily multi-threaded workloads. Getting some down votes, which I attribute to reasonable skepticism, so hopefully this will allay your concerns. https://ibb.co/VM4Z1DY https://ibb.co/VM4Z1DY

      One example, I was trying download all the dependencies for the Kafka project via Gradle with IntelliJ while watching a video on YouTube and working on another project in Visual Studio Code. The video started to stutter then stopped and Visual Studo Code became responsive. I basically had to shut a bunch of stuff down and go to lunch. I haven't seen a modern computer struggle with that kind of workload before.

  End of the day the Intel Macbooks of the last few years have been terrible low performance processors that get thermal constrained and have abysmal inconsistent battery life. So if all you use is Macs the M1 is going to feel amazing.
