Or like a m4 max? This thing has <300GB/s vs the max with 550GB/s All those CUDA cores in the sparks but they're starved for memory bandwidth. I am still wait

All those CUDA cores in the sparks but they're starved for memory bandwidth.
I am still waiting for NVidia to release a system that legit beats 3090 maxxing for the home gamer...

- xyzzy123 5mo agoI feel like the shape of the market right now for "home lab" inference is: The sparks are good if your ultimate plan is to spend even more on NVidia hardware in future to run your dev setups at usable speeds. Or, you're developing for a work cluster. If you mainly want to run local models at acceptable speeds portably, buy a mac with lots of RAM. If you’re happy with non-portable / racked, buy 3090s (dense) or mac studios (MoEs). Buy newer cards if you are restricted on power or slots. If you are rich, buy a6000 blackwells.
