m5 max really fixed pp with the better matmul support, im sure the m5 ultra will be even crazier

the sparks have much slower memory bandwidth is the trade off

I believe the dgx spark is still twice as fast at prefill as the m5 max, but the ultra should get closer to parity.

Another benefit of the 2x spark setup is that you can parallelize to ~6 streams pretty efficiently.

All depends on the workflows you’re using it for.

I’m quite excited for the M7 class machines.
