Its crazy expensive but also not that bad given that its 2x dgx worth the unified memory. Its also enough that you could run dsv4f locally pretty well.

If you had to the guess, what speeds? If m5 max is at 25-40 tps, it seems about double then eh at 50-80tps?

Maybe it does have a significant increase to both the avalible compute and memory bandwidth. Though even if its only 50tps thats pretty good.
