    I would like to see a comparison where someone performs the same physics 3D simulation with a dataset larger than 192GB with a maxed out 2023 Mac Pro vs a maxed out 2019. Based on past experience I would expect the 2023 to crash once the memory usage gets close to the max.
    MacOS is pretty good at handling swap. I've been working on a 3D animation recently that needs ~ 70GB RAM when rendering, will render on the CPU without issue on a MacBook Air with 24GB RAM. If your software is making use of GPU compute though, that may need to all be in RAM and not swap, GPU rendering does cause a crash.
