Apple M3 Max (64 GB)

Apple M3

Unified memory: 64 GB
Memory bandwidth: 400 GB/s
Class: Apple

Figures assume the 64 GB unified memory pool shared between CPU and GPU. "What runs on it" is judged at a 8,192-token context. Speeds are estimates, not measurements.

"Est. speed" is a modelled range labelled estimate (D8) for generation (decode) throughput. "Community" shows the median of approved user-submitted reports on this GPU class only where enough exist — never an estimate. "pp" is measured prompt-processing (ingestion) throughput from approved community reports; rows without a measurement show none.
