Open up a large session on your Intel machine. Go into System Monitor and under Memory tab take a look at how much RAM Pro Tools and Pro Tools Video Engine are using.
Then take a look at the bottom of the window at remaining RAM available for everything running on your machine with that session open.
Remember, it’s not just Pro Tools using RAM. Just about every single process and program uses it and that is something very important to consider.
On my M1 Mac Mini, Pro Tools, in total, chews up about half or more of my 16GB of RAM. 4-5GB of that is for the video engine alone.
