You can buy a RTX 6000 Pro Blackwell for $8000-ish which has 96GB VRAM and is much faster than the Apple integrated GPU.


In depth comparison of an RTX vs. M3 Pro with 96 GB VRAM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzPMdp9Qz6Q


It's not faster at running Qwen3-Coder, because Qwen3-Coder does not fit in 96GB, so can't run at all. My goal here is to run Qwen3-Coder (or similarly large models).

Sure you can build a cluster of RTX 6000s but then you start having to buy high-end motherboards and network cards to achieve the bandwidth necessary for it to go fast. Also it's obscenely expensive.
