Seems like M3 Max is best suited for Large Language Model training. With 128 gb unified memory essential let us train models on billions of parameters! Pretty interesting.

    300GB/s memory bandwidth is the cheaper M3 Max with 14-core CPU and 30-core GPU.

    The only CPU that can have 128GB RAM is M3 Max with 16-core CPU and 40-core GPU, and that one has 400GB/s memory bandwidth).

    What are your thoughts for someone who needs a dev laptop anyway. For dev a $3200 version is enough. 128Gb one would cost me $5k.

    Is almost $2k extra worth it?
