M5 Ultra vs RTX 5090: 80-core M5 Ultra GPU crushes RTX 5080, trails 5090 by less than 5%

Apple's M5 Ultra has finally made its appearance on the Blender benchmark database. If the numbers are anything to go by, it appears that the monstrous 80-core GPU is all set to bring the heat to Nvidia's top-of-the-line desktop GPU.

I struggle to think of a worse benchmark than this. A single, only partially GPU utilizing artificial benchmark. This is so myopic is hurts. I guarantee when real, actual benchmarks come out the 5090 will be miles ahead of the m5 ultra in actual tasks you use a GPU for like playing games or running local ML models quickly. The m5 will definitely have an advantage in memory size vis a vis the 5090 but I'd be surprised if it won in prefill or tokens per second.
