On the other hand, competition is good - nvidia can’t have the whole pie forever.

And that's the point - what's "reasonable" depends on the hardware and is far from fixed. Some users here are saying that this model is "blazing fast" but a bit weaker than expected, and one might've guessed as much.

Sure, but arguably the closest thing to competition for nVidia is TPUs and future custom ASICs that will likely save a lot on energy used per model inference, while not focusing all that much on being super fast.
