Thanks for the reply. Should I then post my inquiry in another forum category or wait for someone to chime in here in this one? The claim actually comes from other forums on several occasions {e.g., Example #1 and Example #2}. I also already confirmed this in own case between my native hefty Windows workstation platform and a team with a much less capable laptop using native Linux for the same PyTorch program and using only the CPUs at this point.
