You must be unaware that System76 was already selling 192GB machines, mac studios used to be 512GB max. The only reason why we don’t have them anymore is that we are in RAM shortage.

Those 192GB aren't unified memory though. 128GB on Mac or 395 can be used by both CPU and GPU. It's the GPU + large memory that opens up fast local LLM inteference.

I'm aware you can have more. the term "SWEET SPOT" references a area that anyone/everyone can get to and isn't some magical expensive unicorn.

You're doing what the IT industry has been addicted to for decades: number goes up.
