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.
This isn't quite what you're asking for, but my wife just got a new M3 Pro MBP with 18GB RAM (5 performance/6 efficiency cores) and it's about 2/3 the all core speed of my 5950X in CPU rendering and about 1/4 the speed of my 3090 in GPU rendering.
It's (irritatingly) quite a bit faster in single thread rendering though - it's got about a 50% edge there.
