The Xbox Series X (retail price $499) uses a 7nm SOC, where the GPU has 12 TFLOPS of single precision performance. The fastest single GPU Apple sells on the Mac Pro is 14 TFLOPS (with a step-up fee of $2,400!).

There doesn't seem to be any reason why Apple couldn't integrate a 16 TFLOPS GPU on an SOC using a 5nm or better process. The M1 GPU is 2.6 TFLOPS, they can x6 or more it, and obviously change the memory subsystem (HBM?).
