Is there a good reason why AMD APUs just aren't used with massive amounts of (V)RAM just like the Mac M2 is? (lemmy.ca)

Is it just memory bandwidth? Or is it that AMD is not well supported by pytorch well enough for most products? Or some combination of those?

As per the link (YouTube) in the other thread, it seems like iGPU + increased allocation of VRAM is better than using the CPU, though it also seems APUs max out at 16GB. Maybe something AMD can improve in the future then...
