My desktop is an Intel NUC running Ubuntu, and yeah I play games on it. puzzle games, roguelikes, etc) or ones that do? And to dig deeper you'd need to see what games that 5% of the non-Windows is playing - are they simpler games that don't need graphics acceleration (e.g. I interpret these sorts of statements to be short for "a statistically insignificant number of people play games on macos (or linux)" rather than the literal case where as long as a single person does, it is false.Īccording to the steam hardware survey, Windows is 95%, Macos is 4%, and Linux is 1%.

If you are a serious DL practitioner, putting that money towards cloud resources or a 3090 makes a lot more sense than buying the M1-Ultra. If you assume that M1-Ultra doubles the performance of M1-Max in similar fashion to how the M1-Max seems to double the gpu performance of the M1-Pro, it still doesn't make sense from a cost perspective.

The free RTX4000 is also a faster than M1 Max, albeit you need to use smaller batch sizes due to 8GB of VRAM.

The "free" RTX5000 on Paperspace Pro (~$8 month) is much faster (especially with fp16 and XLA) than M1 Max and Colab Pro, albeit the RTX5000 isn't always available. But Colab Pro is ~$10/month, and upgrading any laptop to M1-Max is at least $600. If you are just learning or playing around with DL, Colab Pro and the M1 Max provide similar performance. To make a long story short, I don't think buying any M1 chip make senses if your primary purpose is Deep Learning. So it isn't an Oranges to Oranges comparison.īack when that M1 MAX vs 3090 blog post was released, I ran those same tests on the M1 Pro (16GB), Google Colab Pro, and free GPUs (RTX4000, RTX5000) on the Paperspace Pro plan.

The 3090 also can do fp16 and the M1 series only supports fp32, so the M1 series of chips basically needs more RAM for the same batch sizes. The M1 Ultra might win "by default" by simply being purchasable at all unlike pretty much every other GPU :/ Well, assuming you can actually buy any of these, anyway. If, however, you're not VRAM limited, then Nvidia still offers far more performance. So if your working set doesn't fit in an RTX GPU of your desired budget, then the M1 is a good option. But of course there is that price & power gap, but the primary strength of the M1 GPUs seems to really be from the essentially very large VRAM amount. Like completely different ballpark behind. ), even if the M1 Ultra is 2x the performance of the M1 Max (so perfect scaling), it would still be far behind the 3090. Since you mention ML specifically, looking at some benchmarks out there (like &. The M1 Ultra claims already look suspicious since the GPU graph tops out at ~120W & the CPU graph tops out at ~60W yet the M1 Studio is rated for 370W continuous power draw. The company is looking forward to launch the Pixel 6a along with the Pixel Watch at its Google I/O 2022 event, which usually kicks off in May.The GPU claims on the M1 Pro & Max were, let's say, cherry picked to put it nicely. The camera will be featuring a 12.2MP Sony IMX363 main sensor and a 12MP Sony IMX355 ultrawide shooter which will be housed in a visor setup. Pixel 6a is expected to introduce a 6.2-inch OLED display with an in-display fingerprint scanner which is believed to be recycle the same basic design as the other two Pixel 6 phones but in a more compact frame coming in at 152.2 x 71.8 x 8.7mm. These scores are in-line with the other two Pixel 6 phones.

The device boots Android 12 as expected and managed 1,050 single-core points and 2,833 points on the multi-core test. The device has appeared in a Geekbench listing confirming the presence of Google’s in-house Tensor chipset and 6GB RAM. The Google Pixel 6a has been spotted on Geekbench listing which disclosed key features like the smartphone’s processor, RAM, OS version, and much more.
