However, if your specific use case doesn't need massive memory bandwidth then you are indeed better off with a PC CPU and PC RAM for the money.
- KingLancelot 3y agoIt’s not about the hardware, that’s what you windows and android guys refuse to understand. Yes, the hardware is good, great in fact (seriously, the MacBook Pro’s screen is insane) But it’s about MacOS/iOS. Once you start using MacOS/iOS on a daily basis, you never want to go back to Windows/android bloated, ad infected bullshit.
- jauntywundrkind 3y agoI don't know about best combo. It's arguable. I still think it's unconscionable to charge so much extra for ram, whatever the case. It is a memory monster though. Regular/pro/max/ultra are 100/150/400/800GBps. ThreadRipper can take ddr5-5200 memory, and at 4/8 channels between HEDT/Pro, that's only 166/333 GBps. Not bad at all, but not those bonkers high numbers.
