Yes, I agree. What about the other metrics, including performance per watt which I’ve now mentioned four times and you’ve ignored the previous three times?

Okay, so you said “Energy efficiency is in another league with the Mac Studio”; I assume you meant that it was more efficient than an nVidia GPU setup. But when pressed, you agreed that’s not actually the case. So it’s not actually that muc

Do I need to quote your own statement to you, verbatim, again? > Mac studio wins in memory capacity, price, perf/watt and value.

> It is much more likely for your model to fit in large unified memory of a Mac than the smaller more limited memory of a GPU. I bristle at general statements like this when it obviously depends on the specific Mac and GPU in question. B

You made claims about performance per watt and other metrics which were completely unsubstantiated and aren't backed up by the line you quoted. That's what I was asking for citations about.

I was not speaking about specific models so I didn’t feel the need to cite any. Not sure why the backhanded insult was necessary. You need multiple Mac Studios to run the largest models as well, so neither is a one-size-fits-all device. If

I’ve run the numbers on this, and an optimized nVidia build can meet or beat Apple platforms in terms of tokens per watt, which is the most important efficiency metric if what you care about is using the least amount of energy to generate a

I have not used Twitter since 2022 (nuked my account) and I have not missed it even once. You should give it a try.

I see many, many Twitter posts here. I flag every single one. Many of them are AI-related, and not something from a big tech CEO. It seems that many fans of AI don’t have any moral quandaries with using it. I will let you be the judge of wh

The thread you're replying to is asking about the 170GB/sec memory bandwidth of the base M6, not the faster spec of the Ultra chips.

Except the RTX 6000 will run circles around the Mac studio in just about every way. Memory bandwidth is literally the only spec where Apple is competitive, and while high memory bandwidth is necessary for LLMs to perform well, many people

No, I think I will in fact call out AI slop when I see it.

Can we please prioritize links to the papers, github repos, press releases, or blog articles for these types of posts? I don't use Twitter and I don't think anyone else should either.
