Hate to say it here, but the new Gorgon Halo at it's price today is NOT the value the Strix Halo offered. I configured a M5 Ultra and a Framework AI Max 400 both w/ 2TB storage. Hate to say it, but on raw $/GB the two are a wash; on bandwidth-adjusted $/GB the Mac is ~3x cheaper. System $/GB │Mac $39.06 | FW $38.07 Memory bandwidth | Mac 1.2 TB/s | FW 273 GB/s Bandwidth-adjusted $/GB ($ ÷ GB × TB/s) Mac $32.60 │ FW $140.00 the Mac has 1.33x the memory and 4.4x the bandwidth for only 1.37x the price while the framework looks $2,690 cheaper, you are not actually getting the same level of value for your investment returned to you. And since thunderbolt & usb4.0 are pretty dang fast, you can shave another $500 off the Studio by dropping down to a 1TB storage drive and using external storage if you got it. For local AI.... Apple is starting to look like they want to take NVIDIA and the DGX Spark head on. It's a HELL of a value.
