Yeah, because an M2 is in the same ballpark as 8 GPUs. Yes, you can use CPU now but it's not even close to this setup. This is hackernews. I know we're supposed to be nice and this isn't reddit, but comments like parent are ridiculous and for sure don't add to the discussion any more than mine do.

I simply didn’t know the answer and the response “it would be much slower” is a perfectly acceptable reply. I disagree that it was ridiculous to ask. I was curious and I wanted to know the answer and now I do. What is obvious to you is not obvious to other people, and you will get nowhere in life insulting people who are asking questions in good faith.
