Being able to keep infrastructure on Linux is a big advantage.

with those $2k you can have 2xB70, with 1.2Tb/sec and 64G Vram, on linux ( and you can scale further while mac prices increase are not linear 0

Funny, I not sure why anyone would use Apple over Linux.

one can upgrade and swap parts with a computer running an Intel GPU. Linux is very well supported compared to Mac hardware.
My thinking is that I'd pick this, because I can't just plug a Mac into a slot in my server and have it easily integrate with all my other hardware across an ultra fast bus.
If they made an M4 on a card that supported all the same standards and was price competitive, though, that might be a good option.
