@karlhigley I did a (somewhat smaller) thing and went for an 8 core AMD (16 HT), GTX 1660 Super, and 32 GB RAM. First time I fired up htop I was like „so. many. cores!!“ Amazing what a few hundred Euros can get you nowadays!

@karlhigley I benchmarked matrix multiplication with tf and interestingly, the 8 cores are also pretty fast so that the GPU was only about 10 times faster than the 8 cores (but about 100x than a single core).
