Does that also apply to stuff like AMD APUs? Honestly asking, I have no clue.
- jeswin 3y agoNo, they have far less bandwidth. However, I am not sure if getting Apple CPUs would be a good idea. You can get some toy projects running with them, but a pay-as-you-go cloud solution would have been cheaper and faster. I don't find my M1 Max to be particularly competitive.

- kube-system 3y agoAMD and Intel allow their customers to choose lots of different memory configurations and so they prioritize compatibility over bandwidth. Apple's architecture has no support for external memory, they put their memory directly on package and can prioritize for bandwidth.
