I realize that MacOS users will stay with Mac for a long time, but I wonder how much of a leap a TR+4090 rig is versus an Apple Silicon Mac Studio on M2 Max, power consumption be damned, on apps that are common to both MacOS and Windows.

Cuz I still kinda think that AMD won the M2 (and now M3) keynotes despite Threadripper racking up way more wattage.

Ampere Altra + 4090 already shits on the Mac Pro for price to performance.
