    Mark Gurman: Mac Pro SoC to have 40 CPU cores, 128 GPU cores

    Posted: 18 Oct 2021 11:13 PM PDT

    Mark Gurman is the guy who correctly reported 10-core CPU, 16/32 GPU MBPs many months ago.

    The M1 Max already has 57b transistors. If this Mac Pro SoC has 40/128, how many transistors would it have? Would it still be monolithic? Would it still have unified memory? Still use LPDDR5? Will LPDDR5 have enough bandwidth? Would they use HBM as the unified memory?

    The M1 Pro/Max GPU tflops scaled linearly with core count. 2.6 tflops for M1, 5.2 tflops for M1 Pro, and 10.4 tflops for M1 Max. At 128 GPU cores, it would have 41.6 tflops. For comparison, AMD RX 6900 XT is 23.04 tflops.

    What is most interesting about Apple's design is the unified memory. This means these GPUs will have access to 128/256gb of RAM assuming that's what the Mac Pro will have. Macs might be the only way to get an abundant amount of "cheap" video memory if what you do requires it.

    An Nvidia A100 has 80GB of VRAM max and it costs $13,000. I wonder if ML researchers will begin to use Macs for training intermediate models without having to buy $150k Nvidia workstations.

    Lastly, Apple said the Apple Silicon transition will finish within 2 years. We're already one year in so expect the Mac Pro to come out in late 2022.

    New PC building

    Posted: 19 Oct 2021 02:45 AM PDT

    After 7 years serving me well I going to build a new PC

    My 2014 build

    Asus Z97M-PLUS, Intel Core i7-4790K, Seidon 120V, Corsair BX-sport 16 GB DDR3-1600, ASUS R9290X-DC2OC-4GD5

    Can you give recomendations about UATX case and motherboard and GPU, I want to make it VR ready but GPU are difficult to get so maybe first a cheaper GPU solution but better then I have now

    M1 Max's REAL graphics performance

    Posted: 19 Oct 2021 01:05 AM PDT

    [EDIT] I stand corrected!

    The 32 GPU core M1 Max is officially claimed to be equal/more performant in comparison with the Razer Blade 15 Advanced (RZ09-0409CE53-R3U1), which has a 3080. As some of you have pointed out, I've misread/misinterpreted the footnotes. Sorry if I have misled.

    Original Post: I don't think people have posted this yet, but I was reading around and a lot of people have been commenting about how the M1 Max is comparable to the 3080 in graphics performance. This is not quite true.

    Apple has actually sneakily provided us an official comparison, and has claimed in writing that it's about the same as a 3050ti, specifically from the Lenovo Legion 5 (82JW0012US). Still impressive, but definitely equivalent to the 3080 --not that any of us game on apple computers.

    For those curious, it's right on their website if you look at the footnotes (see footnote 2) of this page: https://www.apple.com/ca/newsroom/2021/10/introducing-m1-pro-and-m1-max-the-most-powerful-chips-apple-has-ever-built/
