Is it more powerful than Apple silicon, or why would anyone buy this? Just for Linux?
Oh, it's System76, that's why. Open hardware. Makes sense.

#23This makes Mac Studio with 256GB memory look cheap in comparison. More memory to store weight at a quarter of the price!
It's gonna have WAY faster token rates than that Mac Studio though, enough to be a qualitative rather than quantitative difference.

#24New car or a Thelio. Tough decision.
I bought a spark instead of a motorcycle so it’s somewhat relative and it’s also somewhat relative.

I wonder why Apple has not really pushed their memory bandwidth numbers. They're starting to catch up to 2020 at this point -- cool, but still struggling to run years-old models. (FLOPS is even further behind by a year or two)
Maybe they're waiting on HBM? Given that they're skipping M6 Max to go straight for M7, I'd assume they're doing a redesign for it.

Can't it be both?
EG As I gazed at Janice, joy with equal part contentment washed through my soul.

#27It only costs $40,000.
5 years ago I could not afford top shelf coders. Now I cannot afford top shelf machines.

GDDR has higher latency and much lower capacity. HBM requires an interposer and also has lower capacity. It's not an easy choice. The M7 family will probably double memory bandwidth using LPDDR6.

#29I thought it was a pricing mistake. But no, you just have to select the variations. $42,412.00
So a new car, or an AI rig.
That's a bitter pill to swallow. Most of this is the cost of the Nvidia card, and the RAM.

I had to do a double take myself, scrolled down and arrived at a similar number. Wish I built this a few years ago!
Yeah, I bought a Thelio Major three years ago. I'm kicking myself for not going dual-4090s for a mere $10K back then.
