The reason why I was curious is that I am running my stuff on a Strix Halo and I get the feeling that this class of devices ( gmktek, minisforum, lenovo, etc. ) seem to becoming a pretty good alternative
Strix Halo is better performance than a Mac Mini, but not as good as a Mac Studio. But the 128GB unified memory is awesome for larger models.
Unified memory feels like the future of consumer hardware, agreed! Do check out r/StrixHalo
