What does that really mean at this point? A big part of what made integrated cards suck so much is how they had to share memory with the CPU and with a unified memory SiP design that doesn't seem like a problem. Plus the M1 Ultra has 114 billion transistors whereas the 3090 is 28 billion. Even if the M1 Ultra is only using a 1/4 for the GPU that's still the same number of transistors. Even a 6th is still huge.

If Apple wants people to take their claims seriously and if weak engine support for Metal and Rosetta support is a problem they should pay someone to port a popular graphics intensively game properly. Of course it works in their favor not to because fans can point to it and say we'll it's just not optimized for it! Like we all did back in the PPC days until they admitted how crap those chips were when switching to Intel.
