    Hi. I don't think there is a doc specifying the difference between the engine behind shared capacity and dedicated capacity with large semantic model storage format enabled.

    If you are sure the amount of data is the same and the Fabric one hasn't added more data, then my guess would be that a dedicated capacity is a more complex semantic model that has all analysis services features like XMLA endpoints that allows you to deal with much more complex operations. That would make an increase of the data model size.

    I hope that helps,
