Is increasing VRAM finally worth it? I ran the numbers on my Windows 11 PC

RAM is getting expensive, so squeeze the most from it

Both work with Linux's existing swapping mechanism. Swapping (called paging in Windows) is a way for the kernel to handle running low on available RAM. It chooses pages of memory that aren't in use right now and copies them to disk, then those blocks can be marked as free and reused for something else.

Yet, the Arm-backed AI startup boasts its inference chip will churn out five times as many tokens per dollar while using one-fifth the power of Nvidia's latest accelerators to do it. Those are certainly some bold claims, which the company contends are possible because the chip was designed to support large-scale inference workloads.
