Is there a good reason why AMD APUs just aren't used with massive amounts of (V)RAM just like the Mac M2 is? (lemmy.ca)

Is it just memory bandwidth? Or is it that AMD is not well supported by pytorch well enough for most products? Or some combination of those?

The instruction support for ARM built into llama.cpp is weak compared to x86.

I don't know about you but my M1 Pro is a hellovalot faster than my 5800x in llama.cpp.

These CPUs benchmark similarly across a wide range of other tasks.
