Does faster RAM make local LLMs faster? DDR5 speed vs capacity when models spill out of VRAM
中文摘要
当大模型超出显存容量时，更快的DDR5可显著提升性能；若显存充足，内存速度影响较小。
English Summary
Faster DDR5 speeds significantly boost local LLM performance when models exceed VRAM capacity, but have minimal impact if models fit entirely within VRAM.
Original Excerpt
Faster DDR5 can make local LLMs much faster in some setups and barely matter in others. The difference comes down to where the model… Continue reading on Medium »
