pretty sure Nvidia GPU is better bang for buck because of usable inference speed..
replyI have upgraded my M4 Pro 24GB to M5 Pro 48GB yesterday. The same Gemma 4 MoE model (4bit, don't remember which version) runs about 8x faster on M5 Pro and loads 2x times faster in memory.
replySo yes, do purchase that new MacBook Pro.
You don't know if it's the newer model or the increase in RAM. If someone has already got 48GB it they might not benefit much. You changed 2 things at once.
replyNot really: it's the same model size and it fits 24GB entirely.
replyIf you're doing it specifically for inference (or in most other situations) a Mac(book) represents very low RoE.
