In this article, we explore whether the recent addition of the M2Pro chipset to the Apple Mac Mini family works as a replacement for your power hungry workstation.

Is it? This review is pretty thorough with some realistic benchmarks. Spoiler: it won’t replace an entire data center, but it works for model development and testing. Enjoy!

    Completely missing in the Lemmy post “summary,” from the W&B’s Conclusion portion:

    We are still miles apart from the desktop NVIDIA GPUs and the same analysis from the M1Pro hold today. It’s nice seeing Apple capable of improving the GPU performance over the previous generation, but we will probably have to wait to replace our NVIDIA GPUs.

    Don’t get me wrong, the performance per watt is good but we are still far behind what you get on any current Nvidia desktop GPU. Check this report to see how they compare against NVIDIA.
