I wonder what Apple would have to do to make metal + its processors run faster than nVidia? I guess that it's all about the interconnects really.

- summarity 1y agoRight now, for LLMs, the only limiting factor on Apple Silicon is memory bandwidth. There hasn’t been progress on this since the original M1 Ultra. And since abandoning UltraFusion, we won’t see progress here anytime soon either.
