June 10, 2026 — Mac Studio M3 Ultra vs DGX Spark: benchmark wasn't apples-to-apples
A reader correctly flagged that the headline owner benchmark in our Mac Studio M3 Ultra vs DGX Spark comparison compared the Mac running an MLX 6-bit quantization against the Sparks running INT4 (roughly 4-bit) — different precisions, so the tokens-per-second figures aren't a controlled comparison. We added a caveat paragraph explaining the mismatch (and why, if anything, it understates the Mac's showing), and noted in the article's sources section that the numbers are directional rather than controlled. Thanks to the commenter who caught it.
