....Apple has upcoming releases of M series (Max/Ultra/Extreme) GPUs with capabilities that'll mirror the fastest Nvidia GPUs on the market.....

I got a good chuckle out of that...... Best of luck with that....


Yeah you're right, the fastest Nvidia GPUs on the market currently are unbeatable without portable limitations involved.  I couldn't edit my initial post in time, but it's only true when Nvidia GPUs RUN-OUT-OF-VRAM against Apple Silicon GPUs Unified Memory architecture in comparisons of laptops that are unplugged from direct power to run only on battery or when desktops have to utilize swap memory that'll choke an Nvidia GPU that's run out of VRAM.  

I absolutely hated when Apple dropped Nvidia and AMD support back in the day, but at least they replaced it with stable and efficient tech that's actually affordable by comparison to Nvidia's current lot of GPUs because you'd have to purchase pretty much the highest end Nvidia GPU just to stay ahead of current Apple Silicon in FPS but if you're not an FPS chaser then Nvidia's high end GPUs quickly become harder to justify (increased electric bill, reduced portability, time consuming troubleshooting scenarios, limited VRAM) unless you're workload requires CUDA.  I know I'm preaching to the choir here.
