I would assume the 8GB models will write to the SSD more often than the 16GB models, which will possibly create heat and definitely wear out the SSD faster. I’m not a gamer, but I suspect heavy gaming would require a lot more RAM, and would likely make good use of the extra GPU core which the 8GB models don’t have. 8GB models have 7 GPU cores but 16GB models have 8 GPU cores.

I was actually asking about iPad Pro… (perf diff between 8GB and 16GB M1).
Supposedly apps can grab up to 6GB on M1/8GB and 12GB on M1/16GB. But I haven’t seen much evidence that there are actually apps that do this, or even benchmarks that compare performance.
