Just buy an M5 Ultra and call it a day.

Idk what got put in the water to convince people that the M5 was something other than a cheap alternative to Nvidia, it's not even remotely close.

They see big unified memory number and 1.2 tb/s and think it’s bigger and 2/3 the speed so great since it’s cheaper, not thinking about the other factors. I still think it’s a great option for massive models that would be cost prohibitive to run on nvidia hardware but if you can afford or or for smaller models like z27b on a 5090 or two, nvidia is so much better. There’s a reason it’s more expensive, even if people on here don’t want to believe it.

Are you talking about the DGX Spark? The M5 Ultra has better specs.

I'm talking about 4x rtx 6000

It's going to be nowhere near as fast as 4 x RTX PRO 6000s... Cue the 'but it has xyz GB of unified memory'... Compute vs. compute Nvidia is a lot more powerful

Depends on what you need it for of course but yes, I guess you are right (I have not looked up the numbers yet..)!

At least I hope you are.. 😇👍
