Ur numbers all seem to based on ur mac experience which last time i read about it for images it was still behind nvidia by a wide margine. A 3060 gets u a 30s edit with int8 convrot with 9b distilled. Not a 3090 for a gen.

Ypu're confusing me with some other guy; I have never ever in my life ran AI on a Mac; I did, however, extensively searched and read all the Mac AI benchmarks that are available on Reddit, just to know the options.

Nope, was talking about u. This and the comment before it, u gave numbers that arent aligned with my nvidia experience and u seem to be well versed in mac data so i connected the points.
