Seems like Apple's M2 is a sweet spot for AI performance at 800 GB/s of memory bandwidth which can be added under $1,500 refurbished for 65 gigs of RAM.

Where for $1500?

Not on Apple Refurbs. That would cost you about $2200.

And the M2 Max has a memory bandwidth of 400GB/s.

I’m guessing a reference to M2 Ultra? Not sure about that price though…

M2 Ultra refurb was over $4,000, last I checked.

Whoops, I got confused between the Max and the Ultra for memory bandwidth. But I have seen on occasion, months ago, reverbs for that price.
