J’essaie de me convaincre de ne pas acheter un Mac Studio. Apple ne m’aide pas.
J'essaie de me convaincre que je n'ai pas besoin d'un Mac Studio entièrement équipé. Cela se passe mal. Le nouveau Mac Studio d'Apple est un ordinateur de bureau ridicule : jusqu'à 512 Go de mémoire unifiée et 1,2 To/s de bande passante mémoire. Plus important encore, Apple le présente explicitement comme une machine d'IA embarquée, capable d'exécuter localement de grands modèles à poids ouverts.…
The author is trying to convince themselves not to purchase the fully-equipped Mac Studio, as they do not believe they need it. Apple's marketing of the Mac Studio as an AI-equipped machine capable of running large open-weight models locally has raised concerns. The new Mac Studio features 512GB of unified memory, 1.2TB/s of memory bandwidth, and the ability to cluster machines via Thunderbolt 5 for large local workloads.
The unified memory is a particularly interesting aspect, as it allows the processor and GPU to access the same shared memory pool instead of alternating between system memory and dedicated VRAM. While this does not make the Mac Studio equivalent to a data center filled with NVIDIA hardware, it enables hundreds of gigabytes of memory to be accessible to the GPU in a quiet, personal computer.
