Full disclosure about PC AI hardware. The memory bandwidth of a GeForce RTX 4090 is 1.01 TERA BYTES PER SECOND. Which is eight times faster than what Apple claims. What is more important, PC hardware is smarter designed, with memory designed specifically for component needs, while Apple use share memory for everything. AI and graphics primarily require as much bandwidth as possible, while processors focuses on low latency on random data processing, because the latter obviously needs to do a lot of different things.

Lastly, PC AI hardware is going PCIE 5.0 as we speak. The imminent GeForce RTX 5080 is supposed to deliver 1.5 TB/s memory bandwidth. Three times of the most extreme Apple hardware. And that won't even the the top of the line RTX 5000. PC is and always will be the racing masters.

      do they also throttle ?

        Everything built on the second gen 3nm node seems to perform quite well, M1 Pro users might finally have a reason to upgrade.

            Pretty sure they are comparing it to the 1068NG7 :V it fits with the M4 Pro. but the MAX? Likely the 10750H.
