@torb@hachyderm.io it is! You could configure a Mac Pro with 1.5 TB of RAM in 2019. And now it's easy to conceive of an AI-focused workload where you might want to run a large model that could easily blow past even 1.5 TB. Apple's unified memory approach has a lot of advantages for most of its lineup, but the super high end is poorly served by this because of those limits (and now we can really overcome those limits by doubling up on SOCs which forces you to add CPU/GPU cores you might not need)
