x86 cores are simply suffocated by slow RAM and a shame 128-bit controllers.
As soon as AMD switches to an HBM3 memory controller for top-end laptops with 1TB/s, it will be able to make the built-in gpu at the 4080+ level. With 128GB HBM3e soldered together with Zen5 cores, Apple has no chance against AMD in top-end segment. But this is, of course, pure theorizing - in reality, the AMD team is weakening. But it is clear that the Apple team already has problems, so the race between teams is becoming increasingly fierce in 2024. And somewhere on the side is the Intel team. The Qualcomm team is stepping on their heels. And somewhere in the clearing there is also the Mediatek team hanging out, the fate of which so far looks like the fate of VIA in the x86 market in the early 2000s..
