Apple has recently overhauled its entire M-Series chip plans, scrapping the launch of the M6 Pro and M6 Max processors and jumping straight to the M7 series. While the base M6 SoC is expected to launch, Apple is moving into the M7 series without the M6 Pro/Max variants, with plans to offer some...

Mlx needs a lot less copy data around when the gpu can just read it directly.

      Something got reported on incorrectly because the M5 Max’s have 614 GB/s today, and the Ultra M4 machine’s (not laptops) are 819 and that’s 3 generations behind a M7 if they make an M7 ultra machine.

      $ for $ you’ll get more video ram than paying for a 5090, but it won’t be as fast and can’t train well.

      Before the ram price decable, you could get a 192gb M4 Ultra for ~10k CAD.

      While Apple computers generally will have better support, they will be very slow due to unified memory itself. I’m not sure if this is actually the future.
