Is it really that much better than some small form AMD Ryzen with 2x32 SODIMM thrown in? I get that the M series is amazing in terms of efficiency and some people love Apple hardware but you could likely have had that performance with a $700 setup.
- NaomiLehman 1y agoThe only server that actually matched the performance of a Mac Studio was XEON Max series (formerly codenamed Sapphire Rapids HBM) with 64GB of integrated memory into the CPU package. the latency between the CPU and RAM is simply too big in a regular PC.
- SSLy 1y agofor DB's bandwith to RAM and Storage is just as important.
- NaomiLehman 1y agothat's the thing. latency to RAM is everything. I would take 10x lower bandwidth in RAM vs 100x better latency from CPU to RAM. The only x86 CPU that does this is the Xeon Max: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/processors/xeon/max-series/products.html https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/pro... There are other possible solutions but they are expensive. the problem with Macs, among other things, is lack of ECC RAM.
