AI hardware, PC gaming rig maker partner on powerful AI/ML laptop

AI hardware company Lambda and PC gaming rig maker Razer are hoping to steal some thunder from Apple's M1 Max-powered MacBook Pro with a new laptop designed explicitly for machine learning engineers. The two companies claimed their new 15.6-inch Lambda Tensorbook is the "world's most powerful laptop for deep learning." They …

What about cooling? Having tried to run such workloads on powerful laptops in the past, the challenge is less about specification and raw power and more about cooling. Models can take a long time to build, no matter the spec, and often the laptop will have to throttle due to thermal issues before the model is complete. Overall the time taken is a lot longer than on a desktop of similar, or even lower spec, due to the much better thermal handling,

Four times faster? Well, that's embarrassing, isn't it? ;-)

"When you're stuck SSHing into a remote server, you don't have any of your local data or code and even have a hard time demoing your model to colleagues. The Razer x Lambda Tensorbook solves this," he said. "It's pre-installed with PyTorch and TensorFlow and lets you quickly train and demo your models: all from a local GUI interface. No more SSH!"
