M5 Ultra Mac 256GB Studio - 64 core vs. 80 core version, is the inference speed difference worth the extra 10 weeks wait time?

I’m seeing 6-7 week delivery wait time for M5 Ultra Mac Studio 64 core version versus 15-17 weeks for 80 core version. They both Ultra and have the same memory bandwidth. Is the speed difference that noticeable for prompt processing and token generation? Is it worth the $1200…

OMG! If you have a Mac with 64GB, try Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-oQ4e-mtp with oMLX!

Benefits of using bigger models than Qwen 3.8 flash next?

48Gb VRAM speed AND quality ! (Qwen 3.8 27B Swift 1.5 W8A16)

Hi, Because sometimes you need both speed AND quality, I made my own Qwen 3.8 27B Swift 1.5 quant. It's an 8 bits AWQ + GPTQ quant. Made with love and precision (read the model card) on my 4 RTX 3090, I believe it's the best compromise you can actually get on 48Gb of VRAM.…
