Apple Silicon's unified memory architecture can reduce latency and power consumption for small and medium model inference on the basis of single-machine sharing, but once extended to a distributed environment, cross-device communication still has to go over the network, and the bandwidth dividend of unified memory cannot be passed through directly.

UnverifiedThe benefits of speculative decoding depend on the system having surplus compute capacity; NVIDIA GPUs, whose compute far exceeds memory bandwidth, are naturally suited to this optimization, while Apple chips' more balanced compute-to-bandwidth ratio results in lower gains.73% similarUnverifiedOn Apple Silicon, the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine share the same physical memory, eliminating the need to copy data between devices.70% similar
