I hope Apple does end up moving to HBM. Unified memory has been a huge godsend, but the low memory bandwidth is just such a killer. Even/especially on M5, where the available compute is starting to starve incredibly badly on ML workloads.
- dofm 2mo agoAFAIK that is initially only for the iPhone?
- LoganDark 2mo agoApple is reportedly considering skipping the higher-end M6 chips altogether, which could potentially give enough time for higher-end M7 (in over a year) to use HBM
- kennywinker 2mo agoConsidering, or being forced to consider due to the hardware crunch?
- LoganDark 2mo agoWho cares? If high-end M7 chips come out with HBM and actually compete with GPUs from this decade I'll be really happy. I'm also hoping for more than 128GB of unified memory in a laptop.
