Currently using SDXL (through Huggingface Diffusers) on an M1 16GB Mac. Takes on average 4-5mins to generate an image. It's usable.

- ttul 3y agoGood lord. I can get a 2048x2048 upscaled output from a very complex ComfyUI workflow on a 4090 in 15 seconds. This includes three IPAdapter nodes, a sampling stage, a three-stage iterative latent upscaler, and multiple ControlNets. Macs are not close to competitive for inference yet.
- rsynnott 3y agoI mean, a 4090 would appear to cost $2000, and came out a year ago; it has about 70bn transistors. The M1 could be had for $700 for a desktop, $1000 as part of a laptop, came out three years ago, and has 16bn transistors, some of which are CPU. An M3 Ultra might be a more reasonable comparison for the 4090.

- ttul 3y agoA very fair comment. I use an M2 MBP with max specs. It’s very powerful, but the Nvidia card draws a whole lot more power…
