To clarify: NVIDIA does allow system RAM paging (Unified Memory), but it’s not stable or recommended for ML inference. AMD ROCm supports real page-faulting + memory oversubscription. AMD can therefore run larger models on limited VRAM. AMD is not necessarily faster — usually slower. CPU inference is never faster than a GPU.
