That's very similar to CPU-based performance with modern CPUs and parallelization! Frankly, with whisper.cpp it tends to be a little faster than the length of the audio for the "small" model, and much faster for "base" and "tiny".


Doesn't even have to be that modern, my Ivy Bridge CPU already achieves faster than realtime performance - which makes me wonder if there is maybe some upstart cost for the GPU based solution and it would outperform the CPU only with longer clips.
