Will these M3 chips be competitive against cheap Nvidia cards for training small and medium sized networks? M2 weren't, and Metal support on Torch was sketchy.

M2 weren't, and Metal support on Torch was sketchy. Getting better lately, though.
- spullara 3y agoFor training you want the best NVIDIA card you can afford. Doesn't make much sense to use a laptop for training IMHO. There is an argument that the M3 Max is the best non-datacenter chip for inference with the ability to scale to 128 GB of memory.
- nextos 3y agoSure, I am thinking a bit ahead. That is, a Mac Mini / Studio / Pro with a M3 Max / Ultra could be interesting.
