Can an M3 Ultra Mac really outperform an RTX 5090 PC in LLM benchmarks?

This Memorial Day, I’m running a full LLaMA.cpp showdown to test it live.

Will be Live on Twitch & YouTube.

I just posted a new video breaking down Pedro’s full 5090 upgrade:
Setup, WSL, LLaMA.cpp install, and a 9x performance boost.

I’m trying to hit 500 subscribers to unlock YouTube monetization—this is now my full-time gig.

Wild analytics anomaly this week on Twitch:
Jumped from 9 to 835 viewers.
No raid. No follow bump. Just… poof. 800 viewers?

But only 57 unique viewers.
68 live views.
No other signals.

Gut check matters.
Don’t trust dashboards at first glance.
Sanity-check your data—always.

Tomorrow I'm going live with a new MSI PC rocking an RTX 5090.
I'll stream the full setup + migrating Pedro, my AI bot—but I need your vote:

Should I run Llama.cpp or Ollama on the new machine?
Poll is in my Discord, open for 24 hrs only: tr.ee/BETnCH

Stream goes live tomorrow on Twitch+YouTube!

What if we stopped renting compute from trillion-dollar clouds and started learning how systems actually work again?

I built a home lab using Pis, an old PC, and some curiosity.
Here’s what I learned:

I have bot loyalty! Does this persist into the robot revolution?
