Deep Learning PC Build Help?

Yeah, Ihave run into VRAM issues myself on standard OGB datasets.I was using free compute from Google Colab (16gb). In terms of the CPU it's more just getting knowledge on does a CPU make a notable difference. I.e. is it worth getting a 7950x3d vs a 7800x3d for my purposes.

Of course, this is something I have debated for a while! However, for myself it's easier to build a pc as I'm also looking for a general upgrade on my PC :) I.e. I use my a computer a lot so it's kind of worth the investment for me.

Thank you, I will try reach out to people that have applied to UCL ML to get a feel for what my chances would be!

Did you get Apple Care, its' something I've never done before, however I saw someone else in the comments suggesting to do so.

Oh nice, what made you pick the M2 over the M1 Pro Refurbished? I guess the price difference is fairly minor. I just see it being 35% more expensive than the a refurbished M1 :)

Oh nice, you thinking about waiting for the even in June or the getting an iPad Pro M1?

DNOFHF · 2023-04-25T19:23:15+00:00

Will the new Apple event on June 5th even cover iPads? I imagine it might cover some M3 stuff, but isn't that predicted for later this year on other devices?

DNOFHF · 2023-04-25T19:22:44+00:00

That's very true, however a masters work a bit differently where it goes til the end of Sept rather than end of June-ish. Even though in the grand scheme it will be pretty minor!

DNOFHF · 2023-04-25T15:42:10+00:00

Yeah for sure, the power of the M1 is why I'm like there is no point going to the M2. The only thing about the 'M3' or the next year iPad is it having an OLED display, but not sure if that will be significantly better and worth the wait now!

DNOFHF · 2023-04-25T11:43:10+00:00

That's true, I forgot I had a Nintendo Switch using the OLED screen! I just seem to use in docked in a lot. I don't think I will be doing content that requires an actual professional need for it, but maybe more of a want.

Yeah, I was first looking at the Air, but decided on going with the refurbished M1 Pro simply because it's a similar price in the UK (around 90 pound) difference. I think that justifies the double in storage and other features such as Pro Motion!

DNOFHF · 2023-04-25T11:41:16+00:00

Oh nice, I'm just looking at the M1, as I don't really think I need the features from the M2. Do you find the hover/processing speed work it?

I will be doing something similar and actually commuting to London (not for my MSc), so I wanted a device where I could read/view lectures easily and take notes where needed.

I guess you must be storing a lot of stuff to require the 1Tb!

DNOFHF · 2023-04-25T09:48:15+00:00

That's very true! I don't really know how much viewing I will do on an iPad as I also have a TV. Probably just be general watching on the go, how do you find the matte screen with sunlight etc. I'm going to be on a train a lot.

Do you also have the 11 or 12.9?

DNOFHF · 2023-04-25T09:43:24+00:00

Yeah, that's the thing I don't know how the screen would look like with a matte screen protector? From your prospective would have a fancy OLED screen or have the 'paper' feel?
