A little bit of local copium but neat read.

Isn't a rasbpi with 16gb of RAM $300 now?

The latest Raspberry Pi 5 has one 32-bit channel (2x 16-bit subchannels) of LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM giving 17.1GB/s of bandwidth, 52x less than this GPU. Never mind lacking the CUDA and Tensor cores, so the FP16 performance is 102x less (307 GFLOPS vs 31.4 TFLOPS). So for £200, there's absolutely no comparison for this specific use-case.

I don't understand what point you're trying to make here? Are you talking about the price of RAM?
