MacOS has had intermittent memory leaks for quite some time. Even my 2013 MBP running an old OS version has all the Apple processes slowly leaking memory until I reboot.
I doubt it's directly hardware related, though it's possible it is scoped to special MacOS logic that only is executed on M1. My assumption has been that it's actually coming from shared libraries that Apple-owned processes share, because I usually don't notice it happening for non-Apple processes.
- fouc 5y agoWhich OS version? Personally I'm on 2015 MBP with High Sierra 10.13.6 and zero memory leakage. I go months without even turning off the MBP. Granted, sometimes I get memory leakage behavior from Chrome/Firefox. I usually stick to Safari.
