You should really list memory with the graphics cards, and above should list (unified) memory and prices as well with particular price points.

I mean what I was curious (and maybe others) about was comparing it to parent's post, which is all about the memory bandwidth, hence the comparison.

    But it doesn't matter if you have 1000GB/s memory bandwidth if you only have 32GB of vram. Well, maybe for some applications it works out (image generation?), but its not seriously competing with an ultra with 128 GB of unified memory or even a max with 64 GB if unified memory.

      No one is arguing that either, this sub-thread is quite literally about the memory bandwidth. Of course there are more things to care about in real-life applications of all this stuff, again, no one is claiming otherwise. My reply was adding additional context to the "What matters [...] is memory bandwidth" parent comment, nothing more, hence the added context of what other consumer hardware does in memory bandwidth.
