On: Apple introduces M6 and M5 Ultra

[coldtea]

>M6 supports up to 32GB of unified memory

Is this a joke?

>Additionally, M5 Ultra features a massive amount of high-bandwidth unified memory, up to 512GB

Now we're talking. But at what cost?

[arcatech → coldtea]

The Pro and Ultra variants are the ones with the higher RAM amounts. They didn’t announce the M6 Pro yet.

[coldtea → arcatech]

Yeah, but they still write regarding plain M6:

"M6 also introduces a Dual 16-core Neural Engine, providing up to 2x the peak compute over previous generations to make on-device AI workflows run even faster" .

[kjs3 → arcatech]

They've announced there won't be a M6 Pro in favor of getting M7 out the door.

[brianwawok → coldtea]

At the price points they are hitting, can’t afford over 32 GB on the cheaper model.

256 memory gets you to like 11k. So like 15-20k.
