Mainly asking for local LLM use. I have both machines already.
Is there actually anything useful I could do with a 64GB Strix Halo box that I can’t already do better on the 5090?
I’m guessing the main advantage would be models larger than 32GB into memory, even if inference is slower. But does that make it worth playing with one for local LLMs? It seems like there is no model better than Qwen 3.8 27B for this hardware anyway?
