Local AI: Mac Studio M5 Ultra or RTX PRO 6000?
A comparison of local AI configurations highlights differences in memory, CUDA support, prefill speed, cost, and noise.

What happened and what to do
The post compares a Mac Studio M5 Ultra with 256 GB of memory and 8 TB of storage, listed at US$14,299, with an RTX PRO 6000 with 96 GB, priced at US$14,999, plus US$3,000–5,000 for a system. According to the comparison, the GPU is 2–4 times faster at prefill; the post also notes differences in memory, CUDA support, cost, and noise.
To choose a local AI platform, a company can test its models and workloads on candidate configurations, measuring performance, memory use, noise, and total cost. Wendelmaques can help define the criteria, structure the tests, and implement the private inference infrastructure that best fits the case.
How the consultancy can help
Wendelmaques can diagnose infrastructure requirements and options, propose a scoped implementation, and support its operation, including performance testing and local inference setup.
