Not really sure what you're saying. Single core is pretty consistent between M1 to M1 Ultra

I think it is a software or compiler (?) issue. Stable Diffusion was written for nvidia gpus w cuda cores. Idk what sort of translation happens but it probably leads to inefficiencies not experienced with nvidia.

Funny how they don't mention the number of steps/method used. Big difference between 120 steps of Euler vs 20 steps of DDIM

Isn't that going to limit the single core to being not much higher than the original M1? Maybe with more power and cooling they can crank it up a bit, but it seems like that's the limit.

You can't compare two different images with different settings

I think M1 Max is basically 2 M1 chips and M1 Ultra is basically 4 M1 chips

In the ars technica article they say that with a rtx 3060 it takes 8 seconds and with the M1 ultra 9 seconds.

So once again Apple's "fastest in the world" claims are defeated by a mid-range GPU.

My 2010 12 core Mac Pro with a Radeon 7970 takes about 5 minutes

No, that’s M1 Max

Maybe it’s a time increase who knows?

for example, my XPS 17 11th gen i7 and 2060 generates one image in 10 sec on average. I'd say 18 sec is pretty good at this point. M silicon future looks brighter every day.
