How about the iMac Pro? Would that work? I was able to put 128gb in it (not as easy as the regular iMac but possible).

I've been running various models on a Mac Pro 2013 (8 cores, 32 GB RAM) at about 8 to 10 t/s for months. It's not fast, but it's more than enough for many actual tasks, in particular background tasks. An iMac pro will do just as well I suppose.

  • What are the tasks that do well with 8-10 t/s ?

    • The sort of task you don't expect to end immediately. If extracting data from a bunch of PDFs takes 1 hour or the whole night, that doesn't make much difference to me. It's not fast enough for auto completion and slightly too slow for chat (but bearable IMO).
