> Apple silicon RAM is basically all VRAM The actual ram is lpddr5 - miles slower than what you’d find in even very old dedicated GPUs It’s as you say though - for some tasks like LLMs that doesn’t matter if you’ve got enough bandwidth to said slow ram…ends up being almost the same thing as having actual fast ram. It’s a neat trick & little bit frustrated that nobody is copying it. Cause using dirt cheap lpddr5 (about a dollar per gig) but paying Apple’s comical ram upgrade prices feels like a cruel joke.
