I am considering getting a new computer with at least 64GB RAM for computation that involves doing lots of linear algebra (matrix-matrix multiplications and solving linear systems). For my purposes, I would prefer not dealing with GPU but just focus on CPU with double precision computation. For a si…

[image] Norman: For a similar price (several hundred bucks on CPU), would you consider AMD 9950X a good choice or would you recommend something else from Intel or Apple? I’d definitely go with the 9950x unless you have a specific reason to want an Apple machine (such as strongly preferring Ma…

I’m not sure why you don’t want to deal with GPUs. GPU programming in general can be hard for sure, but matrix multiplication can involve just using cuBLAS. If you can’t deal with GPUs (either due to latency time not being worth multiplying the matrix, double precision not being really well-support…

Also check GPU slower than CPU for simple benchmarks - #3 by ufechner7 for GPUs with good Float64 performance.
