so are we into " specs don't matter " phase yet or are we still trying to push lower specs as something more? We can't skip secret sauce!! Lol
TFs don't matter ... unless you compare the same architecture which we are.
56 cus is better than 36. You can do more in parallel.
No, that's not how it works. Parallelization is difficult to make. Sometimes you can't do it.
Practical exemple :
You need to build a house with either 36 stronger and faster people or 54 less stronger and slower.
If you have 54 woods to move than anyone can lift, your bigger team will crush the other, they will do it in one ride, so basically your smaller team is bottleneck.
If you have 36 woods or less, your smaller team will crushed the other.
If you have 36 woods or less and part of them are too heavy for your bigger team, bottleneck for your bigger team.
It is very, very simplified, but that's the idea.
