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.
It depends on the workload, but we're comparing apples and oranges. No amount of apple magic or apple consumer money can change the wild performance differences between high end desktop and "ultra portable", generally speaking.
