also cheaper memory bandwidth. where are you claiming that M5 wins?

I'm not sure where else you can get a half TB of 800GB/s memory for < $10k. (Though that's the M3 Ultra, don't know about the M5). Is there something competitive in the nvidia ecosystem?

  • I wasn't aware that M3 Ultra offered a half terabyte of unified memory, but an RTX5090 has double that bandwidth and that's before we even get into B200 (~8TB/s).

    • You could get x1 M3 Ultra w/ 512gb of unified ram for the price of x2 RTX 5090 totaling 64gb of vram not including the cost of a rig capable of utilizing x2 RTX 5090.
